2026 Population Census Self-Counting via Sanad October 1–3
The Kingdom of Jordan announces the launch of the 2026 Population and Housing Census, which will begin on October 1st and continue until October 31st. The census includes all residents and buildings, including both Jordanians and non-Jordanian residents in the country. The census will be conducted in two phases: the first involves self-response online using the "Sanad" application from October 1 to October 3, and the second involves field enumeration starting on October 4 and continuing until completion. Approximately 12,000 interviewers will participate in the process, covering around 1.07 million buildings across 24,058 statistical blocks. The census will collect basic household and housing data such as the number of individuals, educational level, presence of employment difficulties, housing type, and health insurance, with an emphasis on not asking about income. A preliminary testing phase will be carried out in September to ensure system readiness. Citizens are encouraged to verify the identity of interviewers before providing data and to participate through two channels: online and field visits. The census aims to gather accurate data to support the planning of services and national policies, while ensuring complete confidentiality and data protection.
