Response Information

Response Overview

The DPES 2006 consists of several parts: the first wave of interviews (consisting of two independent samples), the second wave of interviews, a self-completion questionnaire, a non-response project alongside the first and second wave and a stimulus project. The first wave of interviews was held during the six weeks before the elections on November 22, 2006. A first sample was interviewed in the final three weeks of October. A second sample was approached in the first three weeks of November. The second wave of interviews with respondents from both samples was held shortly after the elections. The self-completion questionnaire was left behind after the second wave interview and was to be filled in and send back by the respondent. A number of non-respondents of the first and second wave was approached by telephone or sent a written questionnaire.
