The aim of the 2013 Sámi Election Study was to study political participation and representation in the Norwegian Sámi political system, in close cooperation with the comparative study of Norwegian and Swedish Sámi Parliament elections.
The project comprised two sub-projects: 1) a survey of voters registered in the Sami electoral roll, in connection with the 2013 Sami Parliament Elections; and 2) qualitative and quantitative studies of selected topics, especially a) the coverage of the election campaign in NRK Sápmi, b) the effect of urbanization on Sámi party programmes, and c) the effects of the new electoral system on the work of Sámi parties and lists.
