Thank you for choosing to work with Election Research on the HI - Akaka Bill - Survey – 2 campaign. 

We completed the third pass last night to the 280,308 homes in the call universe. 

In all, three passes were made for all non-live responses Election Research detected. 

This includes Ring-No-Answers (RNA), Busy, and Answering Device call results.

Through the third pass, the HI - Akaka Bill - Survey – 2 campaign had a completion rate of 67.34%. 

This means that Election Research either had a live voice (48.34% including hang-ups) or an answering

device (19.00%) in 67.34% of all the homes we targeted.  Election Research has obtained the following results:

• 121,288 live responses were detected.  This is 43.27% of all targeted households.  This means that each of these

           households heard at least 10-seconds of the survey.
