A: INTRODUCTION On 5 March 2008, the election to the State Legislative Assembly of Nagaland was held. Lokniti, CSDS, Delhi conducted a Pre Poll Survey on State Assembly Election-2008 in Nagaland. The objective of the survey was to reflect the peoples’ opinion on the performance of the previous government in the state as well as the choice of voting preference in the election. The survey also made an attempt to understand the peoples’ perception on various issues like, development, law and order situation, political problem of Naga people and insurgency, etc.

B: SURVEY DESIGN Sampling Note:

d. How Assembly Constituencies for the survey were selected? Out of its total 60 ACs, 20 ACs were sampled for the survey.

i. All the 60 ACs in the state were arranged in ascending order according to their AC ID numbers along with the total number of registered voters in each AC.

ii. The cumulative total of the total number of voters for each AC was computed. The cumulative total refers to adding the total number of registered voters in the first AC to the total number of registered voters in the second AC, and adding the cumulative number to the total number of registered voters in the third AC. This process is repeated for all the ACs and the cumulative total of the last AC was equal to the total voters in the state. For example, if AC 1, 2, 3 and 4 have 11, 15, 15 and 20 voters respectively, the cumulative total for AC 1 will be 11, AC 2 will be 26 (11+15=26), AC 3 will be 41 (15 + 26 = 41), and the cumulative total for AC 4 will be 61 (20 + 41 = 61).

iii. In order to arrive at a Sampling Constant, the total number of voters was then divided by 20, as it was decided that the survey will be conducted in 20 ACs. For example, if the total number of voters is 1000, it was divided by 20 to arrive at a Constant Sampling of 50.

iv. A number less than the Sampling Constant was randomly selected in the column of cumulative totals. Here randomly refers to an absolute non-bias approach wherein you should not be inclined to pick any particular PS. Then the AC in which the randomly selected number was located (identified from cumulative voters) became the first selected AC.

v. For example, if the 50th voter (if 50 is the Sampling Constant) was identified to be in AC number 4, then AC number 4 became the first sampled AC.

vi. By adding the Sampling Constant to the cumulative voter list of the first sampled AC, the next AC was selected. For Example, if the cumulative total at AC 4 is 75, then 50, the sampling constant will be added to 75 (75 + 50 = 125). Thus the second sample AC will be the one in which 125 will lie, or in other words the AC in which 125th voter is located becomes the second sampled AC.

vii. By repeating the same process, the third randomly sampled AC was selected. The same process was carried out to select all the 20-sampled ACs.

5

e. How Polling Stations for the survey were selected?

i. A comprehensive list of all the PS in the AC listing their number in ascending order was prepared.

ii. As it was decided to sample 3 PS in each AC, the total number of PS was divided by 3 to arrive at a Sampling Constant. For example, if the AC has 120 PS, it was divided by 3 to get a Sampling Constant of 40 (120 ÷ 3 = 40).

iii. Any PS with a number less than the Sampling Constant (for example less than 40) was randomly selected.

iv. The next PS was selected by adding the Sampling Constant to the PS Number already sampled. For example, if PS No. 25 (which is less than 40) is the first Sampled PS, then 40 (the Sampling Constant) to it to select the second sampled PS. So, 65 (25 + 40 = 65), becomes second randomly sampled PS.

v. By repeating the same process, the third randomly sampled PS was selected. For example, by adding 40 to randomly sampled PS No. 65 (as explained in the example above), add 40, 105 (65 + 40 = 105), becomes third randomly sampled PS.

vi. Thus, 3 randomly sampled PS from the total PS in each sampled AC was selected for the survey. For example, PS No. 25 (First Sample PS), PS No. 65 (Second Sample PS) and PS No. 105 (Third Sample PS). This process was carried out for all the 20-sampled ACs.

f. How Respondents for the survey were selected?

• In each sampled PS, a sampled respondent list of 25 voters was prepared from the voter list procured for this purpose. (Download it from state EC website or if not available from EC office)

• As the sample in each PS is 25 voters, the total number of Voters as given in the electoral roll of the selected sampled PS was divided by 25 to arrive at a Sampling Constant. For example, if the PS has 1000 Voters, it was divided by 25 to get a Sampling Constant of 40 (1000 ÷ 25 = 40).

• The first Voter with a number less than the Sampling Constant (for example less than 40) was randomly selected. Here, randomly refers to an absolute non-bias approach wherein one should not be inclined to pick any particular Voter.

• By adding the Sampling Constant to the Voter Number already sampled, the next Voter is selected. For example if the randomly sampled Voter No. 25 (which is less than 40) is first Sampled Voter, by adding 40 (the Sampling Constant) to it, voter No. 65 (25 + 40 = 65), became the second randomly sampled Voter. By repeating this process, 25 Voters from the voter list were selected.

• Thus, the names of the 25 Voters with their details in the blank respondent list were recorded to provide to the investigators for interviews. Substitution of respondents (Sampled Voters) was strictly not allowed.

• A team of 2 Investigators were asked to approach all the 25 respondents sampled at each PS in one day and interview as many voters as possible.

Table-V: Questionnaire Design

Language designed English Language translated* Questionnaire was administered through a master copy of

translated version of each and every tribal language in the state. Translated by Amongla Jamir and S Phyobenthung,

Fazal Ali College, Mokokchung, Nagaland Number variables 100 Major Themes

• Performance of the NPF-Led DAN Government • Question of Leadership • Solution to the Naga Problem • Issue of Greater Nagaland • Role of NSCN-IM in the Cause of Naga People • Problem of Insurgency • Free and Fairness of the Election

*After consulting Lokniti team at CSDS, the state co-ordinator decided to make only a master copy of translated version of Questionnaire for all the required languages due to the difficulties of translating the same into different tribal languages in the state. Thus, interviews were conducted in respective languages of respondent though it was recorded in the language designed.
