2005 NZES

Variable Frequencies

The following links display frequencies from questions asked in the 2005 New Zealand Election Study, and a limited number of tables can also be downloaded. The questionnaire can be downloaded from here. Other detail concerning sponsors and collaborators can be accessed from the NZES website.

The dataset contains 3743 respondents, of whom 1130 are an oversample from the seven Maori electorates. Part of the data is a three-wave panel to 1999 (767 respondents) and a four-wave panel to 1996 (397 respondents).

The data is weighted by education (adjusting down the proportion of university educated), age, gender, and voting as recorded at the 2005 election. Voting data has been validated and corrected from the marked electoral rolls. Sample size is weighted down to reflect the size of the general electorate sample, rather than the total sample.
