Detailed Methodology
2
• The survey was coordinated by Dr. Rasa Ališauskienė from the public opinion and market research company, Baltic
Surveys/The Gallup Organization on behalf of the International Republican Institute. The field work was carried out by
Magenta Consulting.
• Data was collected throughout Moldova (with the exception of Transnistria) between September 1–23, 2016 through face-
to-face interviews at respondents’ homes.
• The main sample consisted of 1,516 permanent residents of Moldova older than the age of 18 and eligible to vote. The
survey also contained an oversample in the capital of Chisinau. It is representative of the general population by age,
gender, education, region and size of the settlement.
• Multistage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday respondent’s selection
procedures.
• Stage One: All districts of Moldova are grouped into 11 groups. All regions of Moldova were surveyed.
• Stage Two: Selection of the settlements – cities and villages.
o Settlements were selected at random.
o The number of selected settlements in each region was proportional to the share of population living in a particular
type of the settlement in each region.
• Stage Three: Primary sampling units were described.
• The margin of error does not exceed plus or minus 2.8 percent.
• The response rate was 61 percent.
• Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
• The survey was funded by the National Endowment for Democracy.
