Sisällön kuvaus

This is the second of four survey rounds, which surveyed Finnish citizens' opinions and views on the elections and related topics. This survey focused on the 2021 municipal elections and COVID-19 measures. The data was collected as part of the Citizen Opinion Panel, which is part of The Finnish Research Infrastructure for Public Opinion (FIRIPO).

At the beginning of the survey, respondents were asked for their opinions on the effectiveness of measures implemented in Finland to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Then, they were asked for their views on how well different parties had succeeded in their COVID-19 measures. After that, the survey moved on to questions related to the municipal elections. Initially, respondents were asked about their previous voting behavior in the 2017 municipal elections. Subsequently, they were asked for their opinions on the postponement of the 2021 municipal elections from April to June, as well as their views on the impact of the postponement on voting behavior.

The background variables included are the respondent's age, gender, educational level, native language, region, and political interest.

Aineiston käytössä huomioitavaa

The researchers have anonymized the data by removing respondent's municipal information.

To prevent identification of respondents, the variable W2_K4_2_11_TEXT containing open-ended response to the response option "Other, please specify" was removed from the data at FSD.

Painokertoimet

The data includes a weight variable (WeightDEMOG) that adjusts the data based on sociodemographic background variables, and a weight variable (WeightPOLIT) that adjusts the data based on both sociodemographic variables and the party voted for in the 2017 municipal elections.

Viittausvaatimus
