Abstract
The AUTNES Candidate Survey 2008 was conducted after the Austrian national parliamentary election of 28 September 2008. The dataset is based on a written census survey of the 4.081 candidates for the National Council election. Candidates were asked questions on four topics: Political background and activities, campaigning, issues and policies as well as democracy and representation. The first subject area contains variables like the candidates’ party affiliation, its duration and possible changes as well as several indicators for political activity like association membership or the average weekly time spent with party activities. Next, candidates were asked about several details of their campaign: Its aim and strategy, time spent, occurring problems, communication means, personal campaign funds and relationship with the party. The third section on issues and policies also includes (besides questions about the candidates’ positions on several topics) coalition preferences, left–right self-placement and opinions on EU topics. The final part of the dataset holds information on candidates’ general attitudes about democracy, their preferred electoral system as well as their understanding of how a Member of Parliament should act.

AUTNES - Austrian National Election Study
The Austrian National Election Study (AUTNES) is a National Research Network, which engages in comprehensive social science analyses of the Austrian national elections. The AUTNES network is funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) from 2009 to 2015 (Grant Reference: S10903-G11). One main aspect of the project is the institutionalization of an integrative study that considers the ´demand side’ (voters) and the ´supply side’ (political parties and candidates) as well as media coverage of the electoral campaign (´media side´). Relying on this approach the AUTNES makes an important contribution towards a better understanding of the functioning of democracy in Austria.
