NATIONAL OBSERVER
OCTOBER 6, 2015
METHODOLOGY
Environics was commissioned by the National Observer to conduct telephone
surveys of over 600 eligible voters in each of three federal ridings across
Canada between October 2 and 5, 2015. The sample sizes and margins of
error for each individual riding are described on the following page.
The research was conducted using Interactive Voice Response (IVR)
technology and the findings were weighted by age and gender to reflect the
demographic makeup of the electorate. Listed phone numbers in each riding
were randomly contacted to take part in the survey. Cell phone numbers are
not directory listed or linked to street addresses, therefore they cannot be
assigned to individual ridings for research purposes at this localized level.
The survey explored vote intention in the upcoming federal election. In each
riding, the names of nominated local candidates were read.
