DATA SHEET

According to the technical data sheet, this is a study, whose fieldwork was carried out by the company StratMark Consultores SA, between December 7 and 15, and has a margin of error ranging from 0 to 2.8%.

The study, according to the technical data sheet, was carried out in all the provinces, including the Ngäbe Buglé region, at the request of the company Culto Publicidad, SA

From the universe of 2.4 million voters, a representative sample of 1,215 people who identify themselves as effective cases was taken, who gave their opinion by way of ‘personal home interview with simulation of vote in ballot box’.

For the effect of the stratified random sample, apples were raffled in urban centers. The main urban centers were covered throughout the provinces. In addition, it was reported that the last birthday technique was used to determine which adult to interview if there was more than one at home. In case there was no adult in the home, three residences were skipped. For demographic data, the population of the Comptroller of the Republic was used.

The opinion study, conducted by Stratmark Consultores SA, which assesses, among other issues, the intention to vote for the presidential elections, is made public only a few days after the Supreme Court ruled an unconstitutional appeal filed by TVN Media against Article 215 of the Electoral Code.

The latest amendment to the Electoral Code established a ban on voting intention surveys up to twenty days before the date of the elections, a modification that had become a disincentive factor for the publication of surveys in the media.
