The forthcoming census in Armenia will be conducted in October using the combined method.

It will be the third census in the history of the Republic of Armenia and for the first time it will be done electronically.

The results will be ready in a year, according to the Statistical Committee.

“The census will be conducted October 13-22, 2022. The census was delayed twice due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was planned for 2020, delayed until 2021, and then it was finally decided to hold it in 2022,” Statistical Committee Department of Census Director Vardan Gevorgyan told ARMENPRESS.

By law, census is conducted once every 10 years.

The basic figures will be obtained from the administrative registrar: ethnicity, citizenship, age, gender, but these questions will nevertheless be asked in the questionnaire.

“We will use the administrative registrar and conduct selective survey in the size of 25%. The system is automatically doing the selection,” Gevorgyan said.

Enumerators will visit every 4th household in each community and fill in the electronic questionnaire using tablets.
