Project Status
Run after every Federal election since 1987, the Australian Election Study (AES) tracks change in political attitudes and behaviours and their influence on the outcome of Federal elections. The 2022 Survey was the 5th iteration of the AES that has been managed by the SRC, with the first in 2010.
Partner
This research is conducted for the Australian National University, as part of a collaborative project between several universities. The project is currently a collaboration between the Australian National University, Griffith University, and the University of Sydney.
Aims + Outcomes
The AES provides insights into what explains voters’ choices in elections as well as public opinion on a range of policy issues. In addition to providing a long-term perspective on stability and change in the Australian electorate, the AES examines the issues and personalities in each election and evaluates their importance in shaping election results. The study has surveyed voters for 35 years, since 1987, providing an unparalleled source of evidence on voter attitudes towards politics in Australia.
Methods
The AES collects voter perspectives using address-based sampling (A-BS) with a push-to-web design (meaning we first collect responses online before introducing a hard copy version). Recent iterations of the AES have also included a panel sample with retention managed successfully through interim communications with panellists.
