2020 Arab Union census

The All-Union Household and Commercial Census of 2020 (Arabic: تعداد عموم الإتِّحاد للأسرة والتجارة عام ٢٠٢٠ ta‘dād ‘umūm al-ittiḥād lil-asrah wat-tijārah ‘ām alfayn wa-‘ashrūn) was the fifth national census conducted by the Arab Union federal government. Census day was 1 January 2020, the last day on which responses could be submitted, with the counting process finished and results published the following week on 8 January. This was the second federal census in the country to include the option to respond online, in addition to the traditional mail-in or in-person submission of the paper questionnaire, and the first to use a write-in (as opposed to multiple-choice) response to the question on sex/gender.

Like the previous four editions of the all-union census of 1990, 1995, 2000 and 2010, the 2020 census was conducted and administered by the All-Union Central Bureau of Statistics, an agency of the Ministry of Public Administration.
