Dear NES User Community,

The NES 2002 Full Release dataset is now available for download from the NES webpage at "http://www.electionstudies.org". From the main page, in the left column choose "Download Data and Codebooks for Free", register, and look under "Time Series Studies".

Analysts who have been using the NES 2002 Advance Release may be interested in a brief document prepared by the NES Staff describing some of the differences between the Advance Release and the Full Release. That document can be viewed online at "http://www.electionstudies.org/studypages/2002prepost/nes02adv.txt".

As you begin to work with the release, if you have any questions please feel free to contact us by e-mail to "anes@electionstudies.org".

Best regards,
