The withdrawal of opinion in research of voting intentions

The results of discriminative analyses, carried out on data from recent public opinion research, confirmed the findings of earlier research that there is a difference with regard to some features relevant for participation in election and voting preferences between persons who in survey refuse to ansewer about their voting intentions and persons who agree to do so. Respondents who withold ansewers are less informed about the elections, less interested in them and more inclined to some of the oppositional parties than those who express in survey their voting intentions.
