After the sample was further classified into rural
and urban domains in each province, then
constituencies were randomly selected from which
individuals were randomly selected. Stratification
reduces the likelihood that registered individuals
from particular provinces or belonging to particular
districts and constituencies are left out of the
sample.

size of 1,200, ZESN is able to make inferences of
the population of registered voters with a margin of
error of margin +/-3% at a 95% confidence level.
To ensure that the list-to-people sample was
representative in terms of gender - 54% of
individuals selected were women and 46% were
men. The list-to-people sample was also stratified by
urban/rural with 67% of sampled names selected
from rural areas and 33% selected from urban
areas.
Stratifying further into constituency would not
make much sense since the sample is small. Because
the number of people within such a constituency
would be the measure of size it meant that smaller
constituents might not get anything. With a sample
ZESN therefore reached 1,063 respondents, 481
males and 582 females.
