Furaihat risks legal action for census noncooperation
The 2026 Population and Housing Census in Jordan aims to collect up-to-date and accurate data on the demographic, health, and educational composition of individuals and households, in order to support government planning and priority setting. The law requires citizens and residents to provide the information, and penalizes those who obstruct or mislead with imprisonment or a fine. The questions focus solely on demographic and health data and do not involve income or financial matters. Approximately 12,000 enumerators will participate in the census, which will last for one month. Advanced technologies and an electronic format will be used, with around 20% of the data collected electronically. The actual enumeration begins on October 1, 2026, to establish a reliable database that will help improve services and infrastructure across the kingdom.
