Panama CIP Structural Rules

The Electoral Tribunal enforces structural integrity rules:

Format = [Prefix]-[Volume]-[Entry] (without mathematical checksum)
  1. 1. Prefix Validation: verifies whether prefix belongs to provinces 1..13 or special status {PE, N, E, AV}.
  2. 2. Volume and Entry Validation: ensures both consist of non-zero decimal digits.
  3. 3. Canonical Formatting: combines parts separated by standard hyphens.
