The Kuwaiti National Election Study (KNES) will collect data on the voter behaviour, socio-economic features, and political attitudes of citizens of Kuwait. The project will contribute to the advancement of evidence-based policymaking in Kuwait, with a face-to-face survey of 1,500 individuals implemented immediately after elections are held for the Sixteenth Session of the Kuwaiti National Assembly.
