Sources of data
The Republic of Slovenia has no accurate official data on ethnic and religious affiliation of its citizens. The last field census of population, which has gathered this information, was performed in 2002; these results are presented according to reports of the Slovene Statistical Office (see Table 1 and Table 2 in "Principal Religions").
After 2002, Slovenia has switched to register-based censuses. Since the State has no official register on ethnic and religious affiliation of its residents, no official data on these parameters is available anymore. The Slovene Public Opinion and Mass Communication Research Centre has been performing empirical researches of the Slovene society since 1968. Current survey of this institution, conducted on a representative sample of population (N=2000) for 2019, is including indicator of religion.
