NOTES: A3015
Respondents who only identified party of candidate (without name) have not been coded for recall in either the candidate or party variables in the CSES data. Explanatory analyses of recalled candidates by party and gender for each country revealed several inconsistencies that researchers should keep in mind when using these variables. Some nations in the sample did not provide specific codes for "incorrect" responses. Two considerations arise as a consequence of this. First, in those countries that only identified the correct responses in the tally (variable A3019), it is difficult for users to uncover whether this occurred in the first, second, third, or some combination of three recall items for individual respondents. Second, it is unclear in which cases respondents who gave incorrect responses were coded "don't know" or "missing." In some countries, there occurred a relatively small amount of cases in which candidates' party and gender were coded inconsistently, and may be due to data entry errors and/or disagreement over which party a candidate is affiliated with if s/he were endorsed by multiple parties or is a member of a party that is a member of a larger bloc. This is evident in Hungary, Spain, Sweden, and Taiwan. The general procedure for asking this question was that respondents were initially asked if they remembered any candidates (variable A3015). If they replied "yes," respondents were asked to name up to three candidates that they remembered. The party and gender of the candidate were assigned later by the interviewer or during the data entry process. In some countries, however, respondents were asked to identify the candidates by party and gender. In this case, if a candidate's name was recalled correctly, but corresponding party and/or gender were incorrectly recalled, then variables A3017_1, A3017_2, and A3017_3 were coded "0" and variables A3018_1, A3018_2, and A3018_3 were coded "99" OR the incorrect gender and/or party were coded although correct information is technically accessible to the researcher. These variables have been left as they are since they are possibly valuable as a source of information about candidate recognizability and degree of political information held by respondents. Countries involved are Belarus, Czech Republic, Norway, Peru, Poland, Romania, and Ukraine.

-
CSES is a collaborative program of research among election study teams from around the world. The research program as well as the questionnaire and the study design are developed by an international committee of leading social researchers. Participating countries include a common module of survey questions in their post-election studies. The data contain information on individual choice behavior, demographics, the constituencies, the national election results and the political systems. The studies are then merged into a single, free, public dataset for use in comparative study and cross-level analysis.

Die CSES ist eine weltweite Kooperation von Wahlforschern. Das Forschungsprogramm, der Fragebogen und das Studiendesign werden durch ein internationales Planungskomitee führender Sozialforscher erstellt. Teilnehmende Länder implementieren einen einheitlichen Fragenkomplex in ihre Nachwahlstudien. Die erhoben Daten umfassen das individuelle Wahlverhalten, politische Einstellungen und sozio-demographische Merkmale sowie Angaben zu den Wahlbezirken, den nationalen Wahlergebnissen und dem nationalen politischen System. Die einzelnen Länderstudien werden in einen gemeinsamen Datensatz integriert und stehen der Wissenschaft für vergleichende und länderübergreifende Untersuchungen frei zur Verfügung.
