The head of the Central Bureau of Statistics at the Ministry of Planning, Diaa Awad Kazim, said in a joint press conference with the Ministry of Interior: “The population census will continue until December 10, and the 20th and 21st of this month will be for the census of family members,” indicating that “the enumerators will visit families more than once, and the curfew will gradually be lifted from the areas where the census is being conducted.”
He pointed out that "the practical procedures for the population census will begin next Thursday," stressing that "there is no postponement of the population census and it includes all regions of Iraq and no region or governorate is exempted from it."
For his part, the spokesman for the Ministry of Planning, Abdul Zahra Al-Hindawi, said: “820 thousand counters are participating in the population census. We will draw a new map of data in Iraq.”
He stressed, "We completed the requirements of the population census within a year and a few months, which is something that advanced countries are unable to do," noting that "the curfew is not for security reasons, but rather to implement the census accurately."
The spokesman for the Ministry of Interior, Muqdad Miri, said, "The curfew for the population census begins at midnight on the 20th of this month and continues from the night of the 21st of the same month at 12 o'clock throughout Iraq."
He stressed that "the curfew includes the Kurdistan Region and any region where the census is being conducted will be lifted," stressing that "all Iraqi cities are fully secured to implement the population census."
He explained that "air traffic will be open to everyone, flight reservations will not be affected during the census ban, and trade exchange will continue." LINK
