Details
The 2013 Australian Election Study (au.edu.anu.ada.ddi.01259) is the tenth in a series of surveys
beginning in 1987 that have been timed to coincide with Australian Federal Elections. The series
also builds on the 1967, 1969 and 1979 Australian Political Attitudes Surveys. The Australian
Election Studies aim to provide a long-term perspective on stability and change in the political
attitudes and behaviour of the Australian electorate, and investigate the changing social bases
of Australian politics as the economy and society modernise and change character. In addition to
these long-term goals, they examine the political issues prevalent in the current election and
assess their importance for the election result.
The 2013 survey replicates many questions from the previous Australian Election Studies, but also
introduces new questions regarding immigrants to Australia. Other sections cover the respondent's
interest in the election campaign and politics, their past and present political affiliation,
evaluation of parties and candidates, alignment with parties on various election issues,
evaluation of the current economic situation, and attitudes to a range of election issues
including global warming, taxation, education, unemployment, health and Medicare, refugees and
asylum seekers, and population policy. Opinions on social policy issues including abortion, equal
opportunities, same sex marriages, and Australia's security were also covered in the 2013
Australian Election Study.
Background variables include level of education, employment status, occupation, type of employer,
position at workplace, trade union membership, sex, age, own and parents' country of birth,
parents' political preferences, religion, marital status, income, and where applicable, the
occupation, trade union membership and political preference of the respondent's partner.
The 2013 Australian Election Study is the second in the AES series to provide the option of
completing the questionnaire online via a unique password, or via hardcopy. 576 of the 3,955
responses (14.6 percent) were completed online.
This data file is also supplemented with division level election results from the Australian
Electoral Commission election results website. These variables are found under the variable group
"AEC Election Results". Information on the source of these election results and the method by
which they were created is available in a Stata *.do syntax file located in the other study
materials section.
