It was announced a few months ago that there would be census conducted through out Bulgaria. This has now started and the initial phase where people could apply online has been done with around a million Bulgarians registering through the internet.
As of the 9th February door to door registrations are being done. This will go on for around 2 weeks.
Any foreigners living in Bulgaria have to fill in the census or any foreigners present at the time of the census being done must complete it, even if only there temporarily.
There are fines of 120 levs per person for anyone not doing the census.
What is not clear is how expats that own houses and have long stay permits for Bulgaria but are not there, are affected. My understanding is that if you are not there at the date of the census then you are not counted.
