INTRODUCTION TO QUESTION: Wording for the Q21b-Q21e question series, which is to record vote choice in the election, should follow national standards. When there are simultaneous presidential and legislative elections or if they follow one another very closely, both participation decisions should be established (even if one of the two is merely a participation intention). (1) The following vote choices should be reported, where appropriate: Q21b. Presidential candidate/party choice Q21c. Legislative election: party list Q21d. Legislative election: district candidate Q21e. Legislative election: personal preference vote (in open list systems) (2) In elections in which more than one institution is elected on the same day (e.g. president and legislature; upper and lower house) using different votes, please ensure all vote choices are supplied as separate variables in the dataset that you deposit. (3) When votes in legislative elections are cast and counted by party list, supply vote choice as the Q21c variable. Where votes in legislative elections are cast for individual candidates and are not accumulated by party to determine the distribution of the seats, supply vote choice as the Q21d variable. If you are in doubt about which solution you should adopt, please explain the dilemma in a note to the CSES Secretariat. (4) In elections in which voters have more than one vote for the same institution, please ensure that both/all votes are supplied. For instance, for elections using a double ballot system, please supply vote choice for both rounds of the election. Similarly, for legislative elections in parallel and mixed member proportional systems, make sure that you supply both the vote cast for party list as Q21c and for an individual candidate in a single-member district as Q21d. Still in the same vein, for elections in which voters can support multiple candidates from several different parties (e.g. STV, AV, limited vote), please report, as separate variables, at least the first two votes coded according to the party of the candidates. (5) In all open-list proportional representation systems please supply information about the use of the personal preference vote as Q21e.
For instance, if votes are cast for party lists, but citizens can, in addition to that, mark a preference for one or more candidates on the party list, then Q21e may show answers to a question like this: "Did you simply vote for a party or did you also express a candidate preference?" In party list systems where voters have to vote directly for a candidate and cannot cast a vote just for the party list as such (e.g. Estonia, Finland, the Netherlands, Poland), the question for Q21e should read like this: "Do you consider the vote that you cast merely a vote for the party, or did you also mean it as a vote for a particular candidate?"
