The AUTNES Online Panel Study, a component of the Austrian National Election Study (AUTNES), is a longitudinal survey designed to analyze electoral dynamics in Austria across multiple election cycles, spanning from 2017 to 2024. This multi-wave online panel combines repeated measures of core variables to enable over-time analysis with thematic modules and survey experiments for an in-depth examination of political behavior, attitudes, and voter psychology. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of the study's research design and methodology, evaluating the quality of the collected data with a focus on representativeness and panel participation. The assessment aims to equip data users with a detailed understanding of the dataset and underscore its potential for longitudinal analyses.
