This survey experiments analyses the effects of different ballot question structures on voting behaviour. Two types of questions are posed on the topic of reducing the maximum speed limit: one with ordinal alternatives (various speed limits) and one with categorical alternatives (alternative scenarios for applying speed limits). Respondents are questioned on these alternatives using two question structures: a single multi-option question and multiple binary questions. The experimental data can be used to analyse to which extent the question type, ballot question structure and order in which alternatives are offered affect voting behaviour.

Method: Data were collected by Kantar on a representative panel. The data for this survey experiment were collected as part of a larger survey. Universe: Respondents are a representative group of adults based in the Netherlands.
