As as result, the user is advised that some errors in character recognition may have resulted within the text. >> ABOUT THE EXPRESSIONS IN THE 1982 QUESTIONNAIRE (NAME Y X, Y. OR Z) The 1982 tIME sERIES questionnaire made provisions to have interviewers fill in district/state candidate names in blank slots like the one depicted above. A comprehensive list of HOUSE, SENATE and GOVERNOR candidate and incumbent names was prepared for each of the 173 districts in the sample and the interviewers used the lists to pre-edit names where appropriate depending on the district of interview. These candidate lists are reproduced in the green pages section of this documentation. The (NAME #) expression will generally list more than one candidate number. For any given district, however, one of two possibilities will hold: 1) there will be one and only one name in the district candidate list qualifying for inclusion on the basis of the numbers listed in the expression; or 2) there will be no number in the district candidate list matching any of the numbers in the expression. An instance of no matching numbers arises for a question about the candidate challenging a district incumbent when, in fact, the incumbent is running unopposed. Interviewers were instructed to mark "NO INFO" those questions involving unmatched candidate numbers in the (NAME #) expression. In the candidate list, each candidate or incumbent is assigned a number or code. Numbers beginning with 1 (11-19) are for the Senate, numbers beginning with 3 (31-39) are for the House of Representatives, and numbers beginning with 5 (51-58) are for governors. -
