Since 1989 national school elections have been organized in connection with municipal/county council and parliamentary elections in Norway. NSD – Norwegian Centre for Research Data has served as a national organizer and coordinator, while the elections until 2003 were funded by Kirke-, utdannings- og forskningsdepartementet (KUF). Since 2005, Utdanningsdirektoratet has financed the school elections, and has overall responsibility for the project. For more information about school elections, see: www.samfunnsveven.no
Abstract
Results from the school election 1995
On the 30th and 31st of August 1995, trial elections were carried out at upper secondary schools in advance of the municipal and county elections. The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD) was a national organizer and coordinator for the school elections, commissioned by Kirke-, utdannings- og forskningsdepartementet (KUF).
This data set is based on the results reported by the schools to NSD during the school election and contains the same information as found in NSD's results report from the Internet election, see: http://www.samfunnsveven.no
In addition to the information about election participation and support in percent for the various parties, we have linked a number of variables describing the municipality in which the school is located. In practice, this means that every additional interview added some additional variables describing the "surroundings" to those schools that have attended school elections. Among other things, we included information about the county in which the school is located, the density of the municipality, how many of the municipality's inhabitants were born in a country outside the Nordic Region. The purpose is to provide opportunities to assess the extent to which the environment of the school can explain the students' political preferences.
This year's school election project is the fifth in the series, conducted as a coordinated and national program. It all began as two loosely formulated ideas in connection with the parliamentary elections in 1989. IBM wanted to create a framework around the school elections corresponding to the results service they have built up around the Storting and kommune elections over decades. The Norwegian Social Science Data Services (NSD), for its part, wanted to use the school's computer equipment and the NSDstat statistics program to conduct a nationwide election poll among pupils in upper secondary schools. The two ideas eventually gained a common...
