In Georgia, the General Population Census will be conducted from November 14 to December 19, 2024. However, due to potential weather worsening, in some high mountainous and hard-to-reach administrative units, including several administrative units in Dusheti (villages within the administrative units of Gudamakari, Kvesheti, Khevsureti, Ukanapshavi, Shatili, Magaroskari, and Pasanauri), as well as Mestia, Lentekhi, and Akhmeta (Omalo administrative unit), the census is planned to be conducted in September 2024
In addition, to optimize resources, agricultural census will be conducted alongside the population census, which will collect information on household agricultural activities.
Preliminary results of the census will be published in June 2025, while the final results will be available in June 2026.
The General Population Census will provide the latest information on the population size, its sex-age structure, employment status, education level, health status, livelihoods, and housing conditions.
