Empadronamiento is a word referring to the application of a census taking into account common characteristics among those who carry out such a count. The register is a list organized by category or by alphabetical order in which objects or people that share qualities or functions within a group or society are counted. The social standards, generally are in order to establish parameters in the development of demographics and the economy. The registration of a group of people implies the use of statistical methods and data collection to form a complete data of the object under study.
The use of registrations is an important and essential administrative movement in the formation of a state. Governments and authorities to which they are responsible must keep an eye on the demographic growth of society, in order to create and maintain economic strategies that serve to maintain status and development. This type of registration is the one best known by citizens, however, the etymology of the word indicates that every census or registration is a registration process, useful for keeping a complex compendium of data of the people involved in the action. In electoral rolls (applicable in each nation in which there is the right to vote) these tools are used to avoid possible fraud in the vote count, these registrations include a mechanism that warns the governing body of the repetition of a vote and removes them from the system, in order to maintain a correct order in the election process.
