Description	The New Zealand Election Survey (NZES) aims to monitor the democratic process in New Zealand during a period of social and economic change, and most particularly, during the transition between electoral systems. This 2002 survey is the fifth in the series which has been conducted at every election year since 1990. The 2002 NZES has five major components: A New General Sample, which involved a proportionately random selection from the general parliamentary electorates; the Election to Election Panels, which was conducted post-election and included respondents from the 1996 and 1999 NZES; the Campaign Pre-election Sample and Pre-Post Panel, which involved a random national sample and was conducted 36 days before the election; the Maori Election Study, which involved an over-sample from the Maori electoral rolls; and, The Candidate Study, which was sent out to all candidates standing for parties in the House. Variables include the respondent's interest in politics, internet usage, how many hours spent watching television or listening to the radio, attitudes toward and trust in the government in general, opinions of other candidates, campaign involvement, attitudes to immigrants, group membership, voting preferences and confidence in the public service. Background variables include gender, date of birth, country of birth, highest level of education, employment status, religious affiliation, and parents' politicial views.

Unit of Analysis	Individual
Universe	1. Persons aged 18 and over listed on the New Zealand electoral rolls. 2. Persons aged 18 and over and listed on the Maori electoral rolls. 3. Respondents from the 1996 and 1999 New Zealand Election Studies. 4. Households with phones listed with Telecom New Zealand Ltd.
Time Method	One-time cross-sectional study; Longitudinal/panel/cohort study
Sampling Procedure	As advised in the abstract, the 2002 NZES has five major components: 1. New General Sample This was randomly selected from the electoral rolls, proportionately from each of the 62 General parliamentary electorates and conducted immediately post-election as detailed above. 2. Election to Election Panels Administered post-election, these samples contain respondents from the 1996 and 1999 NZES (Vowles, Aimer, Banducci and Karp 1998; Vowles, Aimer, Karp, Banducci, Miller and Sullivan 2002). 3. The Campaign Pre-election Sample and Pre-Post Panel This campaign was a random national sample from households with telephone interviews conducted for the NZES by ACNielsen (N.Z.) Limited. Respondents were randomly selected from within households. Campaign respondents were also asked to participate post-election, and those who agreed to do so were mailed the post-election questionnaire. Merging the pre and post data by respondent thus constitutes the pre-post panel. 4. Maori Election Study The Maori Election Study is an over-sample from the Maori electoral rolls. 5. The Candidate Study Over the same period as the voter surveys, although excluding the telephone top-up, mail questionnaires were sent out to all candidates standing for parties with seats in the House, or likely to gain any. The candidate survey provides data on the respondents' background, recruitment and selection, role as an MP (if relevant), and attitudes. Questions on issues and policies replicated those in the voter surveys, enabling comparison between the attitudes and behaviour of voters and candidates.
Collection Mode	Self-completion - distribute, mail back Telephone interview
Type of Research Instrument	Structured
Weighting	The data are weighted.
Response Rate	1. New General Sample The postal response rate was 44.6 per cent (N = 1338), with the telephone interviewing adding a further 8 per cent (N = 248), resulting in a combined response rate of 52.2 per cent (N = 1586). 2. Election to Election Panels The 1996 Panel had an N = 533, and the 1999 Panel had an N = 537. Of all the panel respondents, 1040 completed the postal questionnaire and a further 120 were followed up by phone. Respondents within each panel were subject to different levels of response rate attrition, but no significant or obvious non-response bias was apparent. 3. The Campaign Pre-election Sample and Pre-Post Panel The Pre-election campaign had an N = 3590, with a target of 100 interviews for the 36 days immediately before the election. The response rate was 34 per cent. Campaign respondents were also asked to participate post-election and the 3190 who agreed to do so were mailed the post-election questionnaire. Of these, 2008 responded again by post and 514 by phone, resulting in a response rate of 79 per cent of those who had agreed to participate. 4. Maori Election Study This study had an N = 500, with a corresponding response rate of 33.3 per cent, 27 per cent of which resulted from the mail questionnaire. The remaining 6.3 per cent was achieved by telephone. 5. The Candidate Study For further information, refer to the web page: www.nzes.org
