Original title / Originaltitel VOX-Analysen der eidgenössischen Urnengänge
Summary / Zusammenfassung VOX is a regularly follow-up survey of around 1000 persons entitled to vote; sampled in a multi-stage procedure combining stratified random and quota sampling. The telephone interviews are carried out by a commercial company ( GfS, Gesellschaft für Sozialforschung), the Departments of Political Science of the Universities at Bern, Geneva and Zurich are responsible for questionnaire design, analysis and presentation of results.
Realized after each national ballot about referenda and initiatives it concerns most aspects of political life in Switzerland and tries to analyze, who voted, how and why. From a theoretical point of view, the survey mainly follows the sociological and psychological approach of election studies, but short-term influences of issues, media, campaigning and arguments are treated as well.
