Lokniti conducted a Post Poll survey for the 2016 Assembly Election in Assam.

Here is the Methodology of the Survey :-

The survey was conducted among 1956 respondents in 120 locations spread across 30 Assembly Constituencies. The Assembly Constituencies were randomly selected using the Probability Proportionate to Size method. Thereafter four polling stations within each of the sampled constituencies were selected using the Systematic Random Sampling method. Finally, the respondents were also randomly selected using the same method from the latest electoral rolls of the sampled polling stations. The fieldwork was conducted between 8th April and 16th April, 2016 after voting had ended in each phase. Specially trained field investigators asked the respondents, in a face-to- face interview a detailed set of questions which could take up to 20-25 minutes.
