Methodology

Sampling procedure

Elected representatives at all political levels in Norway - municipal councils, county councils, the Storting (parliament) and the Sami Parliament of Norway - are invited to participate in the Panel of Elected Representatives. Contact information has been collected through Kommuneforlaget AS' registers, as well as public information from websites of municipalities, county municipalitites, the Storting, and the Sami Parliament of Norway.

Mode of Data Collection

The survey is based on a online questionnaire where the panel members are invited by email. The panel members were recruited to the panel in wave 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8. Recruitment in wave 3 was due to the 2019 municipal election. Representatives who were not re-elected were omitted from the panel, while newly elected and re-elected representatives where invited to participate. Recruitment in wave 7 was in the aftermath of the 2021 parliamentary election and recruited newly elected parliamentary representatives, in addition to recruiting current municipal and county representatives. Former parliamentary representatives who were not relected were omitted for the panel.

For a more detailed description of how the members were recruited, please see the documentation report from wave 1, 3, 5, 7, and 8.

Wave 8 was fielded from 1st of November 2022 to the 5th of December 2022.
