PANAMA - Panamanian authorities are
finalizing details for the National Census
of Population and Housing, scheduled for My

of the country 10 years after the last study
was conducted.
According to the Institute of Statistics of
the General Comptroller's Office of the
Republic, this action will be carried out
starting at 7:00 AM on Sunday, using 119,000
pollsters and 13,262 supervisors.
The law includes in the poll all those that
are in the country the day of the census, as
foreigners, homeless, hospital patients,
those at elderly people's homes and
orphanages, people staying in hotels and
those in prison.
Suspension of public shows until Sunday
night and a ban on alcoholic-beverage sales
was decreed to guarantee success of this
action. |
