The census is expected to have profound implications for Iraq ’s resource distribution, budget allocations and development planning.

Minority groups fear that a documented decline in their numbers will bring decreased political influence and fewer economic benefits.

The count will be carried out using the “de jure” method, in which people are counted in their usual area of residence.
