Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The Centre has advanced the Census 2027 population enumeration in Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Goa and Uttarakhand to December 1, 2026 to January 4, 2027, with a revisional round from January 5 to 9, to avoid clashing with assembly elections due in these states next year.
- The self-enumeration window for these states will open from November 16 to 30 this year, and the reference date has been moved to January 5, 2027.
- Enumeration for the rest of the country remains scheduled for February 2027, while the Census in Manipur has been deferred till further declaration amid violence and NRC demands.
- Officials said the dates were moved because much of the staff for both exercises are teachers or state government employees.
What to watch next
- Whether assembly elections in the four states are held as per the existing first-quarter 2027 schedule
- When the deferred Census in Manipur is eventually scheduled
- Rollout of the self-enumeration facility starting November 16 this year
