Overall, 81% of respondents felt no undue pressure during the June elections. What is
encouraging is that the highest number of respondents still claim that the pressures they
experienced did not affect their decision in the elections – 11 %. About 4% of
respondents could not assess whether the pressure on them had an impact, 2% believed the
impact was medium, and 1% believe that the pressure affected them a lot or very
much/critically. In other words, 4% of the respondents made their decision in the
elections under the influence of certain pressures exerted on them.
