More about the poll

The question asked to 2,500 respondents was: “If the presidential election were this Sunday, who would you vote for?” The survey has a national margin of error of +/- 2.2%.

Participants were citizens registered in the official Biometric Electoral Roll (PEB), available on the website of the Plurinational Electoral Body, and were interviewed face-to-face at home using mobile devices (CAPI) as the data collection method.

The survey was conducted from July 5 to 7, with a probabilistic-stratified sample covering the national level (urban/rural) across all nine departments.
