MethodologyReport on the Survey of Campus Administrators for the 43rd General Election

The experiences of campus administrators were evaluated using an online survey, which took respondents an average of 3.8 minutes to complete.

To distribute the survey, an email list was produced of all campus administrators who had provided their contact information to an Elections Canada officer in the lead-up to the election. This list contained 106 email addresses for campus administrators at 94 post-secondary institutions participating in the Vote on Campus program. Survey invitations and reminders were sent by email to this list.

The survey was in field from October 30, 2019, until November 13, 2019. Of the 106 contacts who had received the email invitation to complete the survey, 43 respondents completed the survey, four respondents recorded that they had not set up a voting place on campus, one respondent began the survey but did not complete it and 58 respondents did not respond. This resulted in a response rate of 42%. Given the sample size, frequencies are reported throughout rather than percentages.
