Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

Variable bv1 can be used to distinguish whether the respondent was a candidate or a user of the voting advice application. In the variables, the letter a refers to information related to candidates and the letter b to information related to users of the voting advice application.

The archived questionnaire is missing some response options for technical reasons. The full questions are available on the 'uskonnonvapaus' website maintained by the Union of Freethinkers of Finland.

For identification reasons, all open-ended answers of candidates for the parliamentary elections and the variable indicating the candidate's web page have been removed from the data at FSD.
