In all parliamentary elections since 1956 - including the ATP-referendum in 1957, the Nuclear Power referendum in 1980, the EU-referendum in 1994 and the European Parliament Elections in 1995 and 1999 - a large representative sample of eligible voters has been interviewed. Since 1973 the basic design has been a rolling panel in which half of the sample has been interviewed in connection with the previous election, and the other half in connection with the succeeding election. The election studies have, with the exception of the 1976 study, come into being through a close collaboration between the Department of Political Science at Göteborg University and Statistics Sweden (SCB). The 1976 study was conducted by the Department of Political Science in Uppsala in collaboration with SCB. The Survey Research Centre of Statistics Sweden is responsible for the sampling, their permanent interview organisation performs the field work, and they also collect additional data from public registers. The research project at the Department of Political Science is responsible for the general planning of the studies, the construction of the questionnaires, and the analysis and presentation of data. In 1956, respondents were interviewed twice, once before and once after election day. From the 1960 study onwards, with the exception of the 1970 study, field work has been carried out in two stages. The total sample is split into two subsamples of equal size. One subsample is contacted for personal interviews during the field work stage preceding the election. Respondents in this subsample are contacted again after election day through a short mail questionnaire. The primary purpose of this mail questionnaire is to obtain information about the final vote decision of these respondents. The second subsample is contacted for personal interview during the weeks immediately after the election. The 1970 election study differs from the others because the entire survey was carried out after election day. During this period, a great number of questions have been asked. Some questions are repeated in all surveys, which makes it possible to study changes over a period of nearly fifty years, and there are also questions specific to one or two surveys. The central questions in an election study are always those on party preferences. Therefore, all surveys contain questions on: voting habits, party preferences, and voting in both current and previous elections. Voter participation is also checked using electoral registers. Other recurring questions cover political interest and party identification. Social background factors such as information about the respondents´ date of birth, sex, marital status, education, occupation and trade union affiliation are also available. Undersökningarna genomförs i samarbete mellan Svenska valforskningsprogrammet vid Göteborgs universitet och SCB. Den första studien genomfördes i samband med valet 1956 och sedan dess har valundersökningar genomförts vid samtliga riksdagsval, samtliga folkomröstningar sedan 1957 och alla svenska val till Europaparlamentet. Sedan 1973 genomförs studierna som en rullande tvåstegspanel, där hälften av urvalet intervjuas i samband med första valet och resterande hälften vid efterkommande val. Sedan 1960 delas respondenterna in i två grupper. Den första gruppen av respondenter intervjuas innan valet och deltar sedan i en mindre enkät efter valet, den andra gruppen intervjuas endast under veckorna direkt efter valet. 1970 års valundersökning skiljer sig från de andra då hela undersökningen genomfördes efter valdagen. Valundersökningarna har under åren till stor del bestått av samma eller liknande frågor - vilket gör dem jämförbara över tid. Det finns också frågor som är specifika för ett särskilt år. De centrala frågorna kretsar kring partipolitik och därför innehåller alla undersökningar frågor om röstvanor, partipreferenser och valdeltagande. Vidare innehåller de flesta undersökningarna frågor om politiskt intresse och partiidentifikation samt en hel del bakgrundsfrågor som exempelvis födelseår, kön, civilstånd, socialbakgrund, utbildning, yrke osv.

This collaboration has covered all of the parliamentary elections, referendums and elections to the European Parliament since 1956. The Department of Political Science is responsible for the questionnaires, processing of data, coding and analyses. SCB is responsible for sampling and fieldwork. Swedish National Election Studies participates in a wider international cooperation: Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES). The cooperation means, among other things, that the same interview questions are asked not only in Sweden, but also in several other countries around the world. The Swedish National Election Studies participate in the CSES collaboration for the fifth time in connection to the election 2018. Previously, the CSES questionnaires have been included in the Election Surveys' comprehensive post-election surveys. In connection to the election 2018 a new design was introduced. For the first time, a separate sample was drawn for the CSES edition of the Swedish National Election study, e.g. separate from the sample for the traditional National Election Survey. The separate CSES sample 2018 consists of a representative sample of 8,000 Swedish citizens aged 18-80 that are eligible to vote. Swedish citizens living abroad are not included in the sample. The Swedish National Election Study 2018 - CSES Edition is a post-election survey that was conducted at the same time as the Election Survey 2018. The data collection was done through mail-surveys and web-surveys. The field period for the Swedish CSES Survey started on 10 September 2018 and lasted until 6 November 2018. The response rate was 47.3 percent. Valundersökningen 2018 genomfördes i samarbete mellan Statsvetenskapliga institutionen, Göteborgs universitet och Statistiska centralbyrån (SCB). Samarbetet har pågått vid samtliga ordinarie riksdagsval, folkomröstningar och Europaparlamentsval sedan 1956. Statsvetenskapliga institutionen ansvarar för frågeformuleringar, framställning av frågeformulär, databearbetning, kodning och analyser. SCB ansvarar för urval och fältarbete. Det svenska Valforskningsprogrammet ingår i ett internationellt samarbete, Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES). Samarbetet innebär bland annat att samma intervjufrågor ställs i ett flertal länder runt om i världen. I samband med 2018 års val är det femte gången svenska Valforskningsprogrammet deltar i CSES-samarbetet. Tidigare har CSES frågemoduler ingått i Valundersökningarnas omfattande eftervals-undersökningar. I samband med valet 2018 introducerades en ny design. För första gången drogs ett separat urval för CSES versionen av den svenska valundersökningen, skilt från urvalet för den traditionella Valundersökningen. Det separata CSES-urvalet 2018 utgörs av ett representativt urval av 8 000 röstberättigade svenska medborgare i åldern 18-80 år. Svenska medborgare boende i utlandet ingår inte i urvalet. Svensk valundersökning 2018 - CSES versionen är en eftervalsundersökning som genomfördes samtidigt med Valundersökningen 2018. Datainsamlingen 2018 genomfördes via brevenkäter och webbenkäter. Fältperioden för den svenska CSES-undersökningen startade den 10 september 2018 och pågick fram till den 6 november 2018. Svarsfrekvensen var 47,3 procent. 2018-09-10 2018-10-06 2018-09-10 2018-11-06 Sweden Sverige IndividualIndividual IndividIndivid Swedish citizens, 18 to 80 years of age, living in Sweden Svenska medborgare mellan 18 och 80 år bosatta i Sverige Numeric Text Cross-sectionCross-section TvärsnittTvärsnitt Longitudinal: Trend/Repeated cross-sectionLongitudinal: Trend/Repeated cross-section Longitudinell: Trend/Upprepat tvärsnittLongitudinell: Trend/Upprepat tvärsnitt Probability: Simple randomProbability: Simple random Sannolikhetsurval: obundet slumpmässigt urvalSannolikhetsurval: obundet slumpmässigt urval Self-administered questionnaire: Web-based (CAWI)Self-administered questionnaire: Web-based (CAWI) Självadministrerat frågeformulär: webbaseratSjälvadministrerat frågeformulär: webbaserat Self-administered questionnaire: PaperSelf-administered questionnaire: Paper Självadministrerat frågeformulär: papperSjälvadministrerat frågeformulär: papper Access to data through SND.
