The Census 2027 population enumeration will be conducted earlier in Goa, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab and non-snow-bound areas of Uttarakhand from December 1, 2026, to January 4, 2027, ahead of assembly elections. A gazette notification issued by the Registrar General of India said self-enumeration will be available from November 16 to 30. A revisional round will follow from January 5 to 9, with January 5, 2027, as the reference date for these states. The assemblies of Goa, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand are due to end by May 2027. Census enumeration elsewhere will use March 1, 2027, as the reference date.
