YANGON (Xinhua): Myanmar will use a computer-assisted personal interviewing system for the 2024 national census in October, official media reported on Saturday.

At a meeting on Friday, State Administration Council Chairman Min Aung Hlaing said that a national database was being built to apply the e-ID system to register all citizens in each Unique ID, the official daily The Mirror said.

He added that the government, with upgrading creativity, was making digital transformation in commercial and administrative sectors.

Myanmar is set to conduct a national population and housing census for 2024 from Oct. 1 to Oct. 15, according to local reports.

As a preparation for the national census, some regions and states including Yangon region have already made arrangements such as compiling fundamental lists, formation of supervisory committees and taking trial census, the reports said. - XInhua
