Study title

The Dutch Parliamentary Election Study 2023 has been conducted by the Foundation of Electoral Studies in The Netherlands (Stichting Kiezeronderzoek Nederland; SKON). The Dutch Parliamentary Election Studies (DPES) are a series of national surveys carried out under the auspices of the Dutch Electoral Research Foundation (SKON). These surveys have been conducted since 1971. Many questions are replicated across studies, although fresh questions are included in each new round. The major substantive areas consistently covered include the respondents' attitudes toward and expectations of the government and its effectiveness in both domestic and foreign policy, the most important problems facing the people of the Netherlands, the respondents' voting behavior and participation history, and his/her knowledge of and faith in the nation's political leaders. The DPES data were collected via two different panels: via the LISS-panel monitored by CenterData and via the non-self subscribe panel from I&O-research. Both samples were used to build the DPES2023. The DPES2023 data consists of three datasets, which can be merged, but if done so, the data will not be representative anymore. 1. The standard DPES2023 dataset, aimed to be representative for the 2023 eligible voters. It includes weights to address population distortions. This dataset also includes items that were formulated by Young Scholars; these items become available from February 2025 onwards. 2. [not available yet] A dataset including eligible voters with a migration background 3. [not available yet] A dataset including eligible voters with an education other than tertiary higher vocational (hbo) or university
