About this statute
This provision states that the law regulates how population and housing censuses are carried out throughout the national territory. DANE may carry out population and housing censuses, as well as related surveys and experimental censuses, with census dates set by the national government through a decree. Durante los censos, las personas en zonas urbanas deben permanecer en sus residencias en las horas que fije el Gobierno; el Gobierno Nacional también debe dictar reglas sobre salvoconductos y credenciales. El Gobierno puede reglamentar qué autoridades vigilan el cumplimiento de la ley, y los gobernadores, alcaldes distritales y municipales, y autoridades indígenas deben colaborar con el DANE para los censos y encuestas. Article 4 says certain public servants, teachers, senior high school students, and some university students will serve as census instructors, supervisors, and enumerators; the National Government sets the compensation method.
