Government Advances Census 2027 Enumeration in Four Poll-Bound States
The Indian government has advanced the population enumeration phase of Census 2027 to December 1, 2026, through January 4, 2027, in Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, and non-snow-bound areas of Uttarakhand. This adjustment precedes assembly elections scheduled in these states early next year. A self-enumeration option will be available from November 16 to 30, 2026, followed by a revisional round from January 5 to 9, 2027. Snow-bound regions and other states will follow the original February 2027 schedule.
