The population census in Georgia will be conducted from November 14 to December 19, 2024. The census procedure will have two stages. In the first stage which will be conducted from November 14 to 23 Â the population will be self-registered throughout the country.
This means that the citizens themselves without the help of the Saxstat staff will fill out the census questionnaires on a pre-prepared web platform. In the second stage of the census from November 29 to December 19 up to 11,000 field personnel prepared by Saxstat will conduct door-to-door interviews with residents throughout Georgia through special questionnaires.
Moreover to optimally use the resources  it is planned to conduct an agricultural census together with the population census. The agricultural census will collect data about agricultural activities.
The preliminary results of the census will be published in June 2025 and the final results will be available in June 2026. The census will obtain the latest information about the population’s number, gender-age structure, employment status and education level, health status, sources of livelihood and housing conditions.
