ANNEX

Joint Resolution of the President of the National Institute of Statistics and the Director General of Territorial Cooperation, for which technical instructions are given to the Councils on the management and review of the register municipal

Law 4/1996, which establishes a new wording of the articles relating to the municipal register of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulatory of the Bases of the Local Regime, normalizes the continuous and computerized management of the same, to disappear the five-year renewals that were being carried out and provides for coordination between the rolls of all the municipalities, and it is therefore necessary to lay down rules to facilitate the attainment of these objectives.

The new text of the Population and Territorial Demarcation Regulation of Local Entities, approved by Royal Decree 2612/1996, of December 20, regulates the municipal register and in its article 60 says: Training, updating, Review and custody of the municipal register corresponds to the City Council, in accordance with the rules approved jointly by the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Ministry of Public Administrations at the proposal of the Council of Empadronment.

The new legislation advises to establish detailed instructions on the procedure for processing the variations that occur in the municipal register, in order to harmonize the obligations of the citizens to register in the register of the municipality in which they habitually reside and to communicate the changes of residence that affect them, with the right to freely fix the residence that the Constitution recognizes, as well as to coordinate the actions among the Councils affected.

On the other hand, the Law 7/1985, in its new wording, establishes in article 17.1 that the management of the municipal register will be carried out by the Aymunos, with computer media and in article 17.3 that the Aymunos will transmit to the National Statistics Institute the data of their respective rolls, in the form that is regulated by the General Administration of the State, so that coordination can be carried out between the rolls of all the municipalities.

This exchange of information between the Councils and the National Institute of Statistics, which must be carried out in computer support, requires minimum requirements so that it can be carried out successfully.

According to the above, on the proposal of the Council of Empadrönación, the following rules for the management and revision of the National Statistics Institute have been prepared by the National Statistics Institute and the Directorate General for Territorial Cooperation. Municipal register.

I. Content and conservation of the municipal register

The documentation of the municipal register relating to the residents of the municipality must be constituted by:

1. Relationship of the registered persons. As the new text of the Population and Territorial Demarcation Regulation of Local Entities establishes, in its article 60.3, the Councils will have to keep the registration sheets and the declarations and communications signed. by the neighbours, or reproductions of the same in such a way as to guarantee its authenticity. The registration sheets must be properly arranged in such a way as to enable them to be easily located.

2. Computerized file of registered. This file will collect the data requested in the registration sheets plus the necessary fields for its management, in such a way as to enable the exchange of information with the National Statistics Institute, according to the Record designs and instructions detailed in the document "Designs of records of the information exchange files National Institute of State-Councils" listed in Annex I to this Resolution.

II. Management of the municipal register

The municipalities will have to carry out the update of the municipal register, reflecting the high, low and modifications that will occur, for which the management rules that are detailed in the present will be taken into account paragraph.

In the proceedings which require a request, the person concerned must be taken into account, in addition to what is stated in each case, of the provisions of Article 59 of Law No 30/1992 of 26 November 1992 on the legal framework of the Public administrations and the Common Administrative Procedure.

1. Managing the casualties:

a) Bajas per death. In accordance with Articles 63 and 64 of the Population and Territorial Demarcation of Local Entities Regulations, the Civil Registry or, where appropriate, the National Statistics Institute will provide each City Council with information on the persons who must be discharged on the register by death. The National Statistics Institute shall transmit this information on magnetic support according to the design of the register set out in Annex II.

Each City Council, once this information is contrasted with its register, will give the people a discharge if they are registered. In the event that any one is not registered in the register of that municipality, it will communicate it to the National Statistics Institute for its possible location in another municipality. Once the municipality is located where it is registered, the National Statistics Institute will communicate the death according to the exchange file to the City Council that corresponds to give it discharge in its register.

In addition, the deceased may be discharged from the register on presentation of the family book or death certificate.

b) Bajas for change of residence. The change of residence to another municipality or country will produce a decrease in this concept. The change of residence within the same municipality does not result in a change in the same, only causes a modification of the data reflected in the register.

In accordance with Article 70 of the Population Regulation, any person who changes the municipality of residence shall request in writing his discharge from the register of the municipality of destination, which during the first ten days of the month The following shall be communicated to the municipality of provenance where, once located on the register, the transferred neighbor will be discharged without further processing.

In the event that the transfer is abroad, you must apply for the discharge in the Register of Matriculation of the office or consular section of destination, which will be transmitted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the National Institute of Statistics, which will give you high in the file of Spanish residents abroad and move the low to the municipality of origin, where without further processing, once located in the register, will be discharged to the interested party.

The communication that the municipality of provenance receives must contain the date on which the discharge occurred, since the date of the discharge must match it.

If the person who changes residence is registered in a municipality other than the one who has indicated in the application for discharge, this circumstance will only be possible to detect it in the confrontation phase of the rolls. The National Statistics Institute is to be held by the National Statistics Institute. In such a case, the City Council which was wrongly informed that it should proceed to discharge will notify the City Council of discharge and, for its part, the National Statistics Institute will communicate to this municipality the municipality in which it is registered to correct the data of provenance and to correct the correct referral.

c) Bajas for undue registration.

This designation will always fall on one of the Ayculos in whose register is one of the duplicate inscriptions. If duplicity affects the register of Spaniards residing abroad, one of the local councils will always be appointed. In other cases, the City Council shall be designated as the most recent registration. If the dates of the registration rolls coincide, the designation will be made in the most simple way to attend to the requirement by the neighbor and to carry out the management by the local administrations involved.

The designated City Council will send a request to the person concerned to all the addresses of the Spanish territory in which he is registered, indicating the duplicate inscriptions, in order to show which is the correct inscription. In that order, it shall be made known that, if no reply is received within a period of not less than 10 days and no more than 15 days, the other entries shall be kept only in respect of that of the municipality which carries out the requirement.

The numerical results of the review will be submitted to the corresponding Provincial Delegation of the National Statistics Institute. These will reflect the various alterations produced as a result of the ups and downs that have taken place due to the natural population movement and the changes of residence, as well as the variations that have been produced by the changes of domicile from the date of the last standard revision (or standard renewal, if any), to the reference date (1 January of the year of the entry) of that review. The first review to be carried out after the 'roll-up' on 1 May 1996 will cover changes which have occurred during a different period of time per year.

The numerical results of the annual review of the municipal register shall be reflected in the official models of the forms set out in Annex IV or in magnetic support, adjusted to the record formats set out in that Annex.

1. Summary of high in each of the sections of the municipality (mod. PRA).

This form shall be entered, using a line for each section, the highs that have been produced in each of the sections of the municipality, with an indication of their distribution by sex and by reason of discharge, distinguishing between the high in the section that are high in the municipality (columns 3 to 9), and the high ones in the section that are not high municipal to correspond to changes of domicile within the municipality (columns 10 to 12). They shall also be recorded by sex, the high produced in the section as a result of variations in gender error. The number of high for this reason should coincide with the number of casualties per sex recorded on the low form for the same reason (columns 13 to 15).

Adding the data for each of the sections will get the municipal total at the last line of the table.

In the event that all sections of the municipality cannot be linked in a single form, the number of printed forms that is necessary will be used, numerically numbered in the sheet number ... of the upper margin. rights of the same.

2. Low in each of the sections of the municipality (mod. PRB).

This form will reflect the casualties that have occurred in each of the sections of the municipality, following in its completion similar criteria to those exposed for the PRA model.

The number of casualties caused by change of domicile within the municipality must match the number of high. That is, the sum of columns 10, 11, and 12 of both printed (PRA and PRB) must match.

The casualties caused by gender error variation should coincide with the high ones due to the same concept of the opposite sex. That is, column 13 of a form must match 14 of the other.

3. Municipal general numerical summary (RGM model).

This model, summary of the above, consists of three tables:

(a) The first one collects the population of the municipality at the date of the last revision (or the 1996 standard renewal, if any), the ups and downs produced during the period to which the revision refers, the variations by mistake in the sex and figures corresponding to the population of the municipality as at 1 January of the coming year, which is obtained as a difference from the previous figures, according to the expression:

Population as of 1 January = Previous Population + High Boxes.

The highs and lows produced during the period referred to in the review are obtained as the sum of columns 3, 4, 5, 13 and 14 of the PRA and PRB forms.

b) The second table is the summary of the causes of ups and downs, data that is obtained by moving the totals of the corresponding columns of the PRA and PRB printed.

c) The third table shows the changes caused by changes of domicile between sections of the municipality.

In case the municipality has undergone variation by merger or segregation, it must appear as a population of the last revision in Table 1 of the RGM model, corresponding to the new municipality on that date and shall be recorded on foot page:

A. The municipality of which is segregated, in case of segregation. The municipality of which it has been segregated will also include in the RGM form this segregation.

B. The municipality or municipalities merged, in the event of a merger.

All the documentation related to the review (printed PRA, PRB and RGM) must be accompanied by a certification of the Secretary of the City Council, with the approval of the Mayor, in which it is stated that the present result Number of the review of the register has been submitted to the approval of the City Council plenary, specifying the date of the session. The certification model is set out in Annex IV.

Once the numerical results of the review have been received, the National Statistics Institute will have a month for, once the information received with the workers ' data in its possession has been checked, the figures will be formulate the appropriate qualms. If no agreement is reached, as the Population and Territorial Demarcation Regulation provides for the Local Entities in Article 82, the Council of Empadionation shall be established whose resolution shall be binding without prejudice to the Relevant courts.

IV. Review of population, sectioned and street units

According to Article 76 of the Population and Territorial Demarcation Regulation of Local Entities, the Councils will review, at least once a year, the relationship between the entities and the population centers and the division in sections of the municipal term, in accordance with the definitions and instructions set out below and shall send them to the National Statistics Institute for verification.

Population Unit Review:

In order to achieve a uniformity of criteria for the determination of the population units existing in each municipal term, the following concepts are established:

1. Singular entity of population. Any habitable area of the municipality, inhabited or, exceptionally uninhabited, clearly differentiated within it, and which is known by a specific name that identifies it, shall be considered as a singular population entity. without the possibility of confusion.

An area will be considered habitable when they exist in the same housing or in conditions of being inhabited. In this way, residential housing and residential areas of the season may be considered to be unique entities of the population, even if they are inhabited only in certain periods of the year.

An area will be considered clearly differentiated when the buildings and dwellings belonging to it can be perfectly identified on the ground and the whole of them is known by a denomination.

Therefore, it will be considered a singular entity of population not only the territorial entities of population legally constituted under the protection of article 45 of Law 7/1985, of April 2, Regulatory of the Bases of the Local Regime, but also certain localities, housing estates, residential areas or other areas complying with the given definition.

No housing or building may belong simultaneously to two or more entities.

A municipal term may consist of one or more singular population entities.

Unique population entities shall be composed of population cores and/or disseminated according to the definitions listed below:

a) Population core. A set of at least ten buildings, which are forming streets, squares and other urban roads.

Exceptionally the number of buildings may be less than ten if the population exceeds fifty inhabitants.

These buildings which are isolated will be included in the core, be less than 200 metres from the outer limits of the said assembly, although in the determination of this distance the occupied land should be excluded. by industrial, commercial, cemeteries, parks, gardens, sports areas, canals or rivers that can be crossed by bridges, car parks, other transport infrastructure, etc.

One or more population cores may exist in a singular population entity.

In order to be perfectly identified without the possibility of confusion each population core will be assigned a specific denomination.

b) Distinguished: The buildings or dwellings of a singular entity of population that cannot be included in the concept of core.

In a singular population entity there can be only one population unit as disseminated.

2. Collective entity of population. As an intermediate unit between the singular population entity and the municipality there are in some regions groupings of singular entities (parishes, deputations, brotherhoods, antechurches, councils and others), which form what is called an entity collective of people with their own identity.

3. Category of the population entity. It is the qualification granted, or traditionally recognized, to the population entities, such as city, village, place, village, parish parish or council, ... and, in the absence of it, that corresponds to its origin and characteristics, such as hamlet, town, neighborhood, monastery, colony, tourist center, residential area, urbanization and others.

The municipalities will review and update the relationship of population units, carrying out the on-the-spot checks that are accurate.

By means of the review it will be possible to introduce alterations due to high, low or modifications according to the following causes:

High:

1. Incorporation into the municipality of population units already existing in other municipalities as a result of mergers, additions or segregations of municipalities (alteration of municipal terms).

2. Creation of population units as a result of alterations within the municipality (mergers or segregations), or by new construction, urbanization or rehabilitation of areas not occupied until then.

3. Omissions of population units.

Low:

4. Incorporation of existing population units into another municipality due to changes in municipal terms.

5. Disappearance of population units as a result of changes within the municipality (mergers or segregations) or because they have been depopulated and do not meet conditions to be reinhabited.

6. Improper inclusion of population units.

Modifications:

7. Change of name of the entities or population cores.

When there is some variation in the relation of population units, the Ayuntamas will send to the corresponding Provincial Delegation of the National Statistics Institute the updates according to the files of exchange specified in Annex I, together with updates of the municipal register.

The National Statistics Institute will have one month to carry out the checks that it deems appropriate and require the clarifications to be made and to send the codification of the population units that cause high.

Likewise, and in order to have a relationship of population units updated to 1 January of each year, date of the standard revision, before 1 March of the same year, those Aymariones that throughout the year did not have had variations in the relation of population units, they shall communicate it to the corresponding Provincial Delegation.

Review of the division of the municipal term into sections (sectioned):

The division of the municipal district in municipal districts and these in turn in statistical sections is essential for the National Statistics Institute to be able to carry out the various statistical investigations as well as to manage the electoral census.

This multiple purpose of statistical sections requires, on the one hand, to pay particular attention to its limits and size. To its limits as the statistical section is essentially an area of land of the municipal term and each dwelling or inhabitant has to belong to one and only one statistical section; the set of all the statistical sections, without gaps or overlaps, it must cover exactly the entire municipal term. Special attention will also be given to their size as the Organic Law 5/1985, of General Electoral Regime assigns minimum and maximum sizes of the electoral sections, measured in number of voters. Within such limits it is recommended that the size of the section does not exceed 2,500 inhabitants.

All sections must conform to the following basic rules:

Each section must be perfectly defined by easily identifiable boundaries, such as natural terrain accidents and permanent character constructions.

Sections belonging to an urban core will normally be made up of full blocks of buildings, without prejudice, which, exceptionally, an apple may be subdivided by full facades or, if necessary, by portals if it exceeds the maximum number of voters.

The division in sections must comprise the entire territory of the municipal term, so that any part of it must be attached to one and only one of the sections.

Councils will carry out the review of the sectioning of their municipal term according to the following rules:

a) Partition of the sections that exceed the 2,000 voters or those that exceed 2,500 inhabitants. The sections resulting from the partition must contain at least 500 electors.

(b) The sections with less than 500 voters shall be merged, except in single-section municipalities.

(c) The limits of sections shall be modified as a result of defects in delimitation or variations produced in them, for example from plans of urbanism, the appearance of new urban roads, ...

d) The sections are numbered as follows:

If there is a split of a section in two or more, one of them will be given the old number from which it is divided and the remaining numbers correlated from the last section number of the corresponding district.

When a merge occurs between two or more sections, the new number of one of them will be given to the new one, disappearing the number of the remaining ones, and therefore it can appear jumps in the numbering of the sections.

The sections will never be renumbered, thus being able to remain geographically contiguous sections with non-correlative numbering.

e) The name of the sections may be changed as a consequence of the variations in the division in the districts of the municipal terms and the mergers and segregations of municipalities.

f) The National Institute of Statistics, through its Provincial Delegations, will advise the Councils in carrying out these works and will study and solve the difficulties that may arise.

g) The modifications mentioned in the above points must be checked by the National Statistics Institute, for which the Ayaltones will send a proposal to the corresponding Provincial Delegation, attaching a drawing or drawing of each of the proposed new sections, in which the limits corresponding to them are included as well as the section street section corresponding to the registration designs listed in Annex I.

Once the proposal for variation of sectioning has been received, the National Statistics Institute will have one month to make the checks that they consider appropriate before the inclusion of the new section in the roll.

(h) According to Article 76 of the Population and Territorial Demarcation Regulation of Local Entities, the Councils will carry out the review of the sectioning, at least once a year. However, at the moment when some section exceeds the 2,000 electors or does not reach the 500, they will proceed immediately to their partition or merger, respectively, in compliance with the Organic Law 5/1985, of the Electoral Regime and the Municipalities in the manner indicated in the preceding paragraphs.

i) For electoral census purposes, the sections will be divided into Subsections.

For the allocation of electors to polling stations, the sections can be of two types:

i.1) Alfabetics, in which the division at tables is performed in alphabetical order (the constituents of the section can be assigned to tables taking into account their surnames).

i.2) With subsections, in which the division at tables is carried out by territorial criterion (the constituents of the section must be assigned to tables by geographical criteria and, where appropriate, taking into account the surnames).

Section Street Review:

The drawing up and revision of section street street addresses the need, on the one hand, to know the geographical delimitation and content of the statistical sections, and on the other hand, to have information on the routes, integrated with the units of municipality, district, section, entities, population centers and disseminated.

At the municipal level, a path will be defined by its type (street, square, ...) and its name so that in a given municipality there can be no more than one logical path with the same type and denomination.

Normal, it is that on the ground there is a single track with a certain type-denomination of track, that is, a logical path would correspond to a single physical path.

Exceptionally two (or more) physically different paths, they may have the same type-denomination, that is, a given logical path would correspond to two (or more) physical paths.

This situation will lead to failures in the management of the National Statistics Institute, so the ambiguities between physical and logical paths must be undone in such a way as to establish the relationship of a logical path. only corresponds to a physical path. To this end, the City Council will have to determine these situations and assign different routes to each of the physical routes detected, and each of these routes must be identified, including at the end of the name and between parenthesis the name of the singular entity, population core to which it belongs, or any other literal that is created identifying.

In general, the territory is identified by means of the physical paths, duly labeled and numbered. In other cases the identification is carried out through the population units (entities, nuclei/disseminated). In addition, the experience of the continuous management of the electoral census street in their relationship with the Councils has led to the need to introduce an additional form of identification of the territory that has been called pseudovia.

The pseudovia is defined as anything that is neither a population unit nor a path, which replaces the path in the event that it does not exist and complements it if not.

Finally the track sections will be the result of the intersection of the sections (including the subsection), population units and tracks (or pseudovia, if any), depending on their belonging to the same block and to the same block. postal area.

According to this territorial division, the basic unit of territorial reference would be the stretch from which the rest of the territory's attributes can be deduced.

The inhabitants of the municipality are all those who are registered in their municipal register. Each inhabitant has some attributes, some of them personal (name, sex, ...) and others of territorial character (municipality of residence, street of residence, ...). The link between the population and the territory is precisely the geographical location of the residence of the inhabitant, the domicile, through the section in which it is located.

The following files will be available:

1. Relationship of tracks. This type of file will contain what has been called logical paths, that is, a biunivocal relationship between a code and a pathname.

2. Relationship of pseudovies.

3. Relationship of type of paths. This file will be updated by the National Statistics Institute with the information it receives from the Councils and will be sent to the rest of them to preserve a consistency of these attributes.

4. Relationship of tranches.

The minimum structure of these files shall be as specified in Annex I.

Track updates will have an impact at the municipal level associated with each type and path name. The update of the section street will therefore be reduced to the update of the sections.

A high of a path will be realized when there is not the set type-name of track in the relation of routes at the municipal level, a decrease will involve the elimination of all the sections of road in the municipality and a modification (of the type and/or denomination) implies the rectification of the data in all the sections of the road in the municipality.

The municipalities will send monthly to the corresponding Provincial Delegation of the National Statistics Institute the variations produced in the different files during the previous month, adjusting to the formats of the exchange files and instructions specified in Annex I. For those sections which have undergone some variation, the full file of the section shall be submitted.

Municipality, population entities and urban roads:

Councils must keep each urban road, entity and core population perfectly identified on the ground.

The names of the municipality, entities and population centers must be labeled in their main accesses. In the cores, the name of the population entity to which it belongs must also be indicated.

Each urban route must be designated by a name approved by the City Council. Within a municipality there can be no two urban roads with the same name unless they are distinguished by the type of road or by belonging to different population centres of the municipality.

The name chosen must be in a clearly visible sign placed at the beginning and end of the street and at least one of the corners of each crossing. It is recommended to consider as the beginning of the route the end or access closest to the center or place more typical of the population entity. In the squares, the label will be placed in its preeminent building and in its main accesses.

In the slums with irregular streets, which present starters or plazoletas with respect to the matrix path, as many naming labels must be placed as necessary for the perfect identification. It is advisable that in these cases each building should carry the label of the path to which it belongs.

Building Numbering:

Councils must keep the numbering of buildings up to date, both on the roads belonging to the population centres and on the disseminated part, and the number corresponding to them must be fixed in each one.

For building numbering the following criteria will be taken into account:

(a) Any main and independent entry into the urban roads must be numbered, irrespective of access to housing and/or premises, whatever their use. By-access or low-ticket entries such as shops, garages, agricultural premises, wineries and others, which are understood to have the same number as the main entry for them, will not be numbered. However, where in an urban road there are lateral or rear of buildings already numbered in other tracks, such as shops, garages or other roads, the only access of which is by that side or rear shall be numbered the building, having such number accessory.

b) Peer numbers will be continuously in the

right hand of the street and the odd ones on the left.

(c) When building new buildings or other causes there are duplicates added a letter A, B, C. .., to the common number.

d) Buildings located in disseminated must also be numbered. If they were distributed along roads, highways or other roads, it would be advisable to be numbered in an analogous way to the streets of an urban core. On the other hand, if they are totally dispersed, they must have a correlative numbering within the entity.

In general, all construction in disseminated must be identified by the name of its population entity, by the path in which it can be inserted and by the number that belongs to it; or if this is not possible, by the name of the the population entity to which it belongs and the number of the unique string allocated in it.

First transient disposition.

Since the date of entry into force of the new regulation no City Council has the power to ask for the discharge of the registration in another municipality prior to the processing of the discharge in its register. In order to regularise the anomalies which may have occurred in this procedure, all the Councils who have discharged their parents from another municipality in the period from 17 January 1997 to the end of the year, On 30 April 1997 they shall send within the first ten days of the month of May relevant communication of all these changes of residence to the municipalities of origin.

Second transient disposition.

The monthly shipment of the variations produced in the data of the municipal rolls that the Councils must submit to the National Statistics Institute, provided for in Article 65 of the Population and Demarcation Regulation Territorial of the Local Entities, shall be initiated from the moment when, on the part of this organism, the set of the variations produced in the rolls has been applied since 1 May 1996, date of reference of the last renewal padronal. This time will be determined when the National Statistics Institute can initiate coordination between all the municipal rolls and be able to make the contrast of the variations that are sent monthly.

Regardless of the above, for the purposes of updating the electoral census provided for in the Organic Law of the General Electoral Regime, for the elaboration of the Statistics of Residential Variations and for the Institute National of Statistics can carry out the work of intermediation among the Councils that is foreseen in the transitional provision third of this Resolution, the Aytones will continue to send monthly the information that affects the data of registration in the electoral census and the high for change of residence. This information may be transmitted according to the new record designs of the information exchange files or, while the adaptation to them occurs, as it has been done to date.

Transitional provision third.

Until, as a general rule, the Councils can carry out the discharge for residence to the municipalities of origin provided for in Article 70 of the Population and Territorial Demarcation The local authorities, by means of telematic means, this obligation will be assumed transiently for all the municipalities by the National Institute of Statistics.

The City Councils will make all the necessary means to begin as soon as possible, by themselves, these communications, and in any case before one year, from the date of this Resolution.

The National Statistics Institute will transmit the communications of the high produced in the register of the municipalities of destination to the municipalities of origin by means of computer media according to the design of the file of inhabitants set out in Annex I and in which only the fields referred to in Annex V shall be contained.

The communications will be obtained from the residential variations communicated by the Aymunes before the National Statistics Institute performs the function of coordination and contrast of this information with the different Municipal rolls.
