MUSCAT : Those wishing to conduct surveys or public polls must obtain prior approval to avoid legal accountability, The National Centre for Statistics and Information (NCSI) said on Wednesday.
This comes after “unknown parties” conducted a public poll for the Omani community without taking permission from the authority.
“In the recent period, it has been observed that unknown parties have conducted a public poll for the Omani community. Hereafter, the National Center for Statistics and Information would like to draw the attention of the citizens and residents that it did not assign any other party to carry out public opinion polls or communicate with community members,” NCSI said in a statement.
