The survey was conducted on behalf of International Republican Institute’s Center for Insights in Survey Research by CRRC-Armenia. Data was collected via computer assisted telephone interviews (CATI) throughout Armenia between June 10 and June 21, 2022, via automatized Random Digit Dialing (RDD) with stratification by mobile operators according to their market shares. While numbers were drawn at random, quotas were used for settlement based on the 2011 census of Armenia. For the second half of fieldwork, soft quotas for mobile operators were added. The sample consisted of 1,499 residents of Armenia with access to mobile phones, aged 18 and older.
