Description

This is the seventeenth election study carried out in Sweden in connection with a Swedish general election. Many of the questions are replications of questions asked in one or several of the previous surveys, but there are also a number of questions not asked before.

Purpose:

Explain why people vote as they do and why an election ends in a particular way. Track and follow trends in the Swedish electoral democracy and make comparisons with other countries.

Sampling procedure

Urvalet 2010 drogs från SCB:s befolkningsregister (RTB) som ett obundet slumpmässigt urval omfattande 3 963 personer (nettourval). Urvalets tre delar består av:
1) Panelurvalet med start 2006 omfattande 1 771 personer,
2) ett tilläggsurval om 184 förstagångsväljare (eftersom panelurvalet inte innehåller några unga förstagångsväljare 2010) och
3) ett nytt urval om 2 008 personer, som alltså kommer att intervjuas igen i samband med 2014 års riksdagsval.
