In its ElectionREPORTs, Infratest dimap delivers extensive overviews of trends and patterns on all German federal and state elections, and elections to the European parliament. This product comprises a compact election analysis and a detailed documentation of data. The ElectionREPORT describes election results in their historic context and breaks down the results into regional and structural specifics. Both the voting behaviour of individual groups within the population and the motives behind voters’ choices are examined. Furthermore, the report explores the dynamics of the campaign up to Election Day. A brief outline of the campaign and the most important findings from Infratest dimap’s pre-election polls are also given special attention.
