Summary:
The 1993 Canadian Election Study included five surveys. The number of completed interviews 
and the data collection time period for each survey are detailed in Table 1.1. Three of the 
five surveys were completed just prior to and after the October 25th, 1993 Canadian election 
and two were completed at the time of the October 26th, 1992 Referendum on the Charlottetown 
Constitutional Accord. Telephone interviews were used for both referendum surveys and the first
two election surveys. The final election survey, a mail-back questionnaire, was sent to respondents
about two months after the election. The data set for the 1993 Canadian Election Study includes
one or more interviews with 4,871 respondents. Over half of the 2,530 respondents to the first
or pre-referendum survey completed all four telephone surveys and provided answers to over
500 survey items. Almost 90 percent of the respondents first interviewed as part of the campaign-period 
survey also participated in the post-election survey conducted in the six weeks following the election.
