As voter registration is a materials-intensive activity, so too is the maintenance of a civil registry,
even more so. An illustration of this is the manual production of a civil register in Argentina,
where civil registration forms are completed in duplicate, and kept on file in both the civil registry
and electoral registry offices. With respect to the development of a periodic list, a procurement
policy is discussed in Procurement. Likewise, procurement policies and standards must be developed
for a civil registry.
