Detailed Methodology
2
• The survey was coordinated and analyzed by Dr. Rasa Ališauskienė from 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 (except in Transnistria) between March 11-25, 2016 through face-to-face
interviews at respondents’ homes.
• The main sample consisted of 1,500 permanent residents of Moldova older than the age of 18 and eligible to vote with an
oversample in the capital 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.
• Response rate was 50 percent.
• Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
• The survey was funded by the National Endowment for Democracy.
