Swedish election study 1964

Questions were asked about newspaper reading, attention to election programs in television and other features of the election campaign, such as election meetings and election pamphlets, and the consequences of a change in government. The respondents had to point out issues they wanted their party to work for in the immediate future, and also the most important things the party had accomplished earlier.

Respondents were also asked to give their opinion on the governments handling of the Wennerström spy-affair, and to give a judgement of the possibilities for young people to get education, the hospitals and medical care, housing conditions, social care for the aged, and unemployment benefits. There were also a number of questions about the general supplementary pension scheme. Purpose: Explain why people vote as they do and why an election ends in a particular way.
