Otantamenetelmä

Non-probability: Purposive

Non-probability: Availability

Of the total of 2,468 candidates in the 2019 parliamentary elections, 763 provided their responses for the voting advice application of the Union of Freethinkers of Finland. The voting advice application was available to candidates between 8 December 2018 and 2 April 2019. The application was available to voters from 3 February 2019 onwards, and responses submitted before the polling stations closed were included in the dataset. The voting advice application was used over 8,000 times, but some IP addresses appear multiple times in usage statistics, which means that the number of individual users is lower. Background variable bv8b includes an id given to each individual IP address which can be used to determine responses made from the same IP address.
