Abstract
This paper is a report of the survey practice from a unique study covering all 14,085 elected representatives of the 290 municipal councils and 20 regional councils in Sweden (n=9890, response rate 70.2 percent).(1) The Swedish Municipal and County Council Survey 2008-2009 is the largest of its kind in Sweden, and to our knowledge there are no previous surveys conducted in any other country targeting all directly elected local and regional political representatives (2). In total it includes 69 questions concerning the representatives’ attitudes on politics and democracy (3).
In the paper, we first report our successful mixed mode design that combines a web survey, a postal questionnaire and reminding telephone calls to maximize the response rate. We then discuss possible mode biases in the response patterns from the web survey and the postal questionnaire. The paper concludes by discussing possible improvements in further large-scale studies of political representatives.
