Director, UW-Eau Claire Political Research Institute Using Citizen Surveys Geoffrey D. Peterson Director, UW-Eau Claire Political Research Institute

The Political Research Institute The UW-Eau Claire Political Research Institute works to enhance lines of communication between the governed and those who govern. The PRI provides non-partisan consultations for local governments, non-profit organizations, and fellow institutions of higher education Founded in 2001 by the political science department at UW-Eau Claire

Citizen Surveys Designed to measure citizen opinion on important political issues Working through UW-Eau Claire ensures objectivity and anonymity to respondents Response rates are high and draw significant interest from the public

Why Mail Surveys? Mail surveys are cost effective They guarantee that all members of the community have a chance to respond Mail surveys give respondents a chance to consider questions at length Allows for more complex question construction

Types Of Questions

Forced Choice: “To which of the following would you be most opposed to cutting: snowplowing, park maintenance, or road maintenance?” “In your opinion, which department in the city provides you with the best value for your tax dollar: police, parks and recreation, or road maintenance?”

Open-Ended Questions “Please give your impressions of the city council.” “If you had to name the most important issue facing the City in the next decade, what would it be?”

Issue Priority Questions “Please rank the following issues facing the city in order of importance from 1 (highest) to 5 (lowest): cutting taxes, improving city parks, long-term growth planning, improving road surfaces, economic development planning.” “From the following list, please choose the three issues you believe should be the highest priorities for the city government in the next budget cycle.”
