description: The post-election survey of the Andalusian regional election in Andalucía was carried out among people aged 18 years or older living in Andalusia by using the PACIS Citizen Panel as sampling frame. The obtained sample size is 1,037 interviews. The sample was selected among panellists belonging to PACIS. They were contacted by e-mail, by SMS and by telephone and completed the questionnaire via Internet (on a web page) or by telephone interview. Part of the sample was contacted through different channels until their answers were collected. To reach the sample of 1,037 interviews, 2,293 PACIS members were contacted (AAPOR RR1=45.2%). Sample was selected randomly stratifying by age and sex of PACIS members, with proportional allocation. As a consequence of non-response, the resulting sample is not proportional to the Andalusian population. We have computed calibration weights following the raking method with the variables of sex and age, level of studies and municipal population size and taking the Andalusian population totals as a reference. This way, the sample is adjusted, in these variables, to the Andalusian population. The average duration of the interview was 17 minutes. The maximum sampling error is ±3%.
description: The collected information was cleaned-up, correcting errors and detecting outlier data. Data recording was automatic and coding of open-ended questions was done manually. Fieldwork was monitored continuously by reviewing the compliance of the sample and analysing and treating non-response.
description: The sample is calibrated by sex and age groups, education level and municipal size, with the latest available data from the Register of Population and the Labour Force Survey for education level. Calibration weigths are included in variable PESO.
description: This study was conducted in accordance with UNE-ISO 20252 and ISO9001 standards. Before launching the fieldwork, two pretests of the questionnaire were carried out, the first one in CATI and CAWI and the second one only in CAWI. The recordings of the CATI interviews were subjected to exhaustive quality control (listening by supervisors).

description: [EN] On 2 December 2018, elections were held to mark the beginning of the 11th legislature of the Andalusian Parliament. The election day resulted in the second lowest turnout in Andalusian elections (56.6%), the change of government and the obtaining of parliamentary representation of an extreme right-wing party for the first time in the recent democratic history of our country. The end of the two-party system, the emergence of new parties and the increase in voter volatility are features that have characterised many of the general and regional elections held in Spain, and in other neighbouring countries, since 2014. The analysis of the behaviour of Andalusian voters in these elections, in addition to being of interest in itself, provides relevant information to answer the questions posed by the new party system in our country. This data file contains the results of a survey designed with the aim of delving deeper into the reasons that led a significant part of the Andalusian electorate to abstain and the reasons given by those who voted as they did. The survey on 2D electoral behaviour is the eighth that IESA/CSIC has carried out using the Citizens' Panel for Social Research in Andalusia (PACIS) and was answered by 1,037 people aged 18 and over. Of these, 751 completed the questionnaire online and 286 by telephone interview (CATI). The fieldwork was conducted between 1 and 28 March 2019. In addition to the typical questions on electoral behaviour, the questionnaire included other questions aimed at investigating the explanatory factors of abstention and voting in this particular election. PACIS is a tool that was set up by the IESA-CSIC (http://www.iesa.csic.es) for the collection of quality information in research for scientific purposes or to improve public management, with the autonomous community of Andalusia as its geographical area of reference. It consisted of a group of households selected at random to be representative of the Andalusian population. People over 16 years of age who live in these households periodically answered questionnaires on various topics of general interest for Andalusia.
description: [ES] El 2 de diciembre de 2018 se celebraron las elecciones que dieron inicio a la XI legislatura del Parlamento de Andalucía. La jornada electoral se saldó con la segunda participación más baja en elecciones andaluzas (56,6%), el cambio de gobierno y la obtención de representación parlamentaria de un partido de extrema derecha por primera vez en la historia democrática reciente en nuestro país. El fin del bipartidismo, la aparición de nuevos partidos y el aumento de la volatilidad de los electores son rasgos que han caracterizado muchas de las convocatorias de elecciones generales y autonómicas celebradas en España, y en otros países de nuestro entorno, desde 2014. El análisis del comportamiento de los electores andaluces en esos comicios, además de tener interés en sí mismo, proporciona información relevante para dar respuesta a las incógnitas que plantea el nuevo sistema de partidos en nuestro país. Este fichero de datos recoge los resultados de una encuesta diseñada con el objetivo de profundizar en los motivos que llevaron a una parte significativa del electorado andaluz a abstenerse y las razones que aducen quienes votaron para hacerlo como lo hicieron. La encuesta sobre el comportamiento electoral del 2D es la octava que el IESA/CSIC llevó a cabo empleando el Panel Ciudadano para la Investigación Social en Andalucía (PACIS) y fue respondida por 1.037 personas de 18 años y más. De estas, 751 cumplimentaron el cuestionario a través de internet y 286 mediante entrevista telefónica (CATI). El trabajo de campo se realizó entre el 1 y el 28 de marzo de 2019. Además de las preguntas típicas sobre comportamiento electoral, el cuestionario incluía otras más destinadas a indagar en los factores explicativos de la abstención y el voto en esta convocatoria concreta. El PACIS es una herramienta que fue puesta en marcha por el IESA-CSIC para la recogida de información de calidad en investigaciones con fines científicos o de mejora de la gestión pública que tiene como ámbito geográfico de referencia la comunidad autónoma andaluza. Lo forman un conjunto de hogares seleccionados al azar para que sean representativos de la población andaluza. Las personas mayores de 16 años que residen en estos hogares respondían periódicamente a cuestionarios sobre diversos temas de interés general para Andalucía.
