2008 Post-Election Survey of Department of State Voting Assistance Officers: Administration, Datasets, and Codebook
Abstract
The 2008 Post-Election Survey of Department of State Voting Assistance Officers (2008 DOSVAO) was designed to assess the attitudes and opinions of Department of State (DoS) Voting Assistance Officers (VAO) on voting assistance, electronic transmission of election materials, voting assistance guide, voting information newsletter, Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) Web site, toll-free telephone service, and sources of voting information and resources. Data were collected through a Web instrument, between November 7, 2008 and January 8, 2009. The population consisted of a total of 239 DoS VAOs. The sample, a census, took all in the population. A total of 201 eligible members returned usable surveys, which represents an adjusted weighted response rate of 84%. This report also documents the procedures used to develop the instrument, design the sample, conduct the survey, process the data and prepare analysis weights. Along with the survey instrument and communications to the sample members (Appendices A and B, respectively), the methods section includes details on how the survey was conducted. DMDC (2009a) provides details on sampling and weighting for 2008 DOSVAO. Tabulated results of the survey are reported by DMDC (2009b). Riemer and Kroeger (2002) provide an overview of sampling and weighting for HRSAP.
