Local Parliament Project 2015 Canadian Election Survey

The Local Parliament Project 2015 Canadian election survey is a novel dataset from the 2015 Canadian federal election. It is much larger than typical election studies, including 37,380 respondents in the campaign period survey—on average 692 respondents per day—and 11,699 respondents in the post-election survey. The survey includes variables related to voting, party identification and membership, political preferences and evaluations, leader evaluations, economic evaluations, respondent predictions of election results, as well as information on debate viewership and a range of demographic variables. Sampling occurred from August 26 to October 18, 2015. The survey instrument was presented on the Qualtrics online platform. The post-election survey was conducted between November 4 and November 23, 2015.
