Description of sampling:

Urvalet drogs ur följande kategorier: A) FFS:s centrala register på kåren. Ur registret över de FFS-medlemmar som betalat terminsavgift för vårterminen 1969 t o m 14 mars drogs var femte. Efter inlottning drogs var femte. Registret är i födelseordning. Ur detta register kom 2 068 personer att ingå i urvalet. B) Inbetalningskorten för dem som betalat avgiften under perioden 15.3 - 2.4 fanns på Länssparbanken Dessa hade inte hunnit databehandlas och fanns därför inte i FFS:s register. Korten var sorterade efter tidpunkt för inbetalning och i vilken bank inbetalningen skett. Var femte FFS-medlem drogs, 58 personer. De inbetalningar som skett under perioden 3 april - 24 april (sista valdagen) hade inte hunnit komma till banken. Genom att interpolera mellan antalet inskrivna den 1 april och antalet inskrivna den 28 april beräknades deras antal till 132 personer. Ett urval av dessa kunde alltså inte tas med. C) De utländska medborgarna fanns inte med i FFS:s centrala register, utan var uppställda på en särskild lista. Efter inlottning drogs var femte, 61 personer, ur denna lista. D) En del medlemmar fanns på ett särskilt ställe. Det var bl a sådana som var dubbelstuderande och dubbelinskrivna. Uppgift fanns bara om födelsenummer. Urvalsförfarande: 1) Födelsenumren skrevs upp på var sin lapp. 2) Lapparna sorterades i nummerordning. 3) Dubbletter rensades ut. 4) Inlottning, varefter var femte drogs. 5) Kontroll att dessa inte fanns i det centrala registret (elva som fanns i båda registren uteslöts). 6) Namn och adress letades upp för de återstående 38 personerna. För 16 återfanns ej fullständiga namn- och adressuppgifter, vilket gjorde att formulären ej kunde skickas ut. I praktiken ingick således 22 personer från denna kategori i det slutliga urvalet.
