Universe | The population comprises all German citizens who were eligible to vote when the survey was conducted. Due to the fact that this was an online survey not everybody who was eligible to vote had a probability to get selected for this Online Tracking. Therefore the population comprises all persons with German citizenship resident in the Federal Republic of Germany and being part of the forsa omninet, who had a minimum age of 18 years, who lived in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and used at least once a week the Internet for private reasons. This group comprised nearly 1600 active Panel members of forsa omninet. Active Panel members had been recruited exclusively by phone, had filled out a basic questionaire and had attended to at least one survey within the last twelve months.

Selection Method | Sampling was based on a primary defined ratio schedule (sex, age, education). Moreover it was paid heed to the fact that Panel members are only allowed to participate once a year in an Online Tracking of GLES study.
