LocationScottish Social Attitudes Survey, 2007
Interviewer InstructionsPlus Q440-Q488. See variables [MBnum] to [MBnum11]. Respondents were given a mock ballot paper and asked to fill it in as they did for the local elections. See example ballot paper provided with this documentation for the format. Each ballot paper had the same format, with letters listed down the right hand side next to the boxes where they marked their votes. However, we collected details of all the nominations for each of the areas included in our sample, so that we could mailmerge the details of the candidates that stood in their ward onto the ballot papers given to individual respondents.
