NATIONAL
ELECTION STUDIES |
The National Election Studies series attempts to go beyond
the mere numbers of electoral politics so as to understand
the larger forces and the long-term changes taking place in
democratic politics and society. The most ambitious of these
has been the National Election Study, 1996 - 99, a panel study
involving six waves of survey of a national representative
sample of about 15,000 Indian electors across three parliamentary
elections that took place in this period. This is perhaps
the largest panel study of its kind in any democracy. The most recent in the National Election series has been the National Election Study 2009 or NES 2009
The
National Election Study 2004 (NES 2004) |
The analysis of the national and State-level verdict of the
14th Lok Sabha Election draws upon a post-poll survey conducted
by the Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS)
as part of its National Election Studies. The NES 2004 is
the largest and most comprehensive social scientific study
of Indian elections. It adopts the best international practices
to try and get the most realistic understanding of how the
electorate behaves and feels about the key political issues
of the moment. The findings of the NES 2004 have been reported
in a special supplement of The Hindu dated May 20th, 2004.
