Geographic coverage: Germany (DE)
Universe: 1977 to June 1988: persons eligible to vote in the Bundestag elections;
from August 1988: eligible voters in private households with a telephone connection
Number of Units: 913526
Sampling Procedure: • Probability: Multistage;
Probability Sample: Multistage Sample
The results are representative of the total electorate in the study area. According to the Elections research group, this is ensured by a strict random selection of the persons to be interviewed. Since August 1988, a two-stage random sample according to the RLD method (Randomize Last Digit) has been used for the sample: First private households are selected, then one person from each household. The person who had the last birthday of the eligible voters in the household is interviewed. The selection basis also includes households that are not listed in the telephone directory and can in principle be reached by telephone via a landline number. The basis is the private numbers entered in the telephone directory, where the last three digits are deleted and then filled with the numbers ´000´ to ´999´ . This database is critically reviewed and adjusted accordingly by consulting the information provided by the Federal Network Agency on the (partial) allocation of number blocks and the directory.
From 1977 to June 1988, a multi-stage stratified random sample according to the ADM master sample was carried out.
