If you identify a survey question that needs to be asked that is not in the list of existing survey questions, please feel free to create it. Forward to the Chair of the Field Organizing Committee at PFO.hcdec@proton.me, so that it can be shared with
others. The more we can standardize our use of certain survey questions, the
more data we will be able to extract to help us with future elections.)
