• The survey was conducted by Rating Group Ukraine on behalf of the International Republican Institute.
• Data was collected throughout Ukraine (except for the occupied territories of Crimea and part of the Donbas) from
May 28-June 14, 2016, through face-to-face interviews at the respondents’ homes.
• The sample consisted of 2,400 residents of Ukraine aged 18 and older and eligible to vote. The sample is
representative by gender, age, region, and settlement size. Additionally, 1,185 respondents were surveyed in
Dnipropetrovsk oblast. Multi-stage probability sampling method was used with the random route and next birthday
methods for respondent selection.
• Stage One: 25 official administrative regions of Ukraine were defined (24 regions of Ukraine and Kyiv). All
regions of Ukraine were surveyed except the occupied territories of Crimea and the Donbas region.
• Stage Two: The selection of settlements was based on towns and villages. Towns were grouped into
subtypes according to their size:
• Cities with population over 1 million
• Cities with population 500,000-999,000
• Cities with population 100,000-499,000
• Cities with population 50,000-99,000
• Cities with population up to 50,000
• Villages
• Cities and villages were selected by means of the random sampling method. The number of selected
cities/villages in each of the regions is proportional to the share of population living in cities/villages of a
certain type in each region.
• Stage Three: Primary sample points (PSP) were defined.
• The margin of error does not exceed 2.0 percent.
• Average response rate was 63.9 percent.
• Charts and graphs may not add up to 100 percent due to rounding.
• The survey was funded by the Government of Canada.
