Survey background

The June 2019 Social Weather Survey was conducted from June 22-26, 2019 using face-to-

face interviews of 1,200 adults (18 years old and above) nationwide: 300 each in Metro Manila,

Balance Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao (sampling error margins of ±3% for national percentages,

and ±6% each for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon, the Visayas, and Mindanao).

The area estimates were weighted by Philippine Statistics Authority medium-population

projections for 2019 to obtain the national estimates.

The Social Weather Survey items about the election irregularities and voting-related

problems encountered during the May 2019 elections, and the meaning of Election Day, are non-

commissioned. They are included on SWS's own initiative and released as a public service.
