Planned Number of Observations Total sample size of 1,546,578 individuals. Total sample size of 1,525,314 individuals.
Sample size (or number of clusters) by treatment arms For eligible voters having Finnish or Swedish as their registered mother tongue 20% of the total sample size or approximately 287,877 individuals in the treatment group (message in Finnish and Swedish) and 80% of the total sample size or approximately 1,151,807 individuals in the control group. For eligible voters having foreign language as their registered mother tongue 33% of the total sample size or approximately 35,631 individuals in the first treatment group (message in Finnish and Swedish), 33% of the total sample size or approximately 35,631 individuals in the second treatment group (message in their own language and Finnish) and 33% of the total sample size or approximately 35,631 individuals in the control group. For eligible voters having Finnish or Swedish as their registered mother tongue 20% of the total sample size or approximately 287,405 individuals in the treatment group (message in Finnish and Swedish) and 80% of the total sample size or approximately 1,494,622 individuals in the control group. For eligible voters having foreign language as their registered mother tongue 33% of the total sample size or approximately 29,135 individuals in the first treatment group (message in Finnish and Swedish), 33% of the total sample size or approximately 29,135 individuals in the second treatment group (message in their own language and Finnish) and 33% of the total sample size or approximately 29,135 individuals in the control group. For eligible voters having foreign language as their registered mother tongue 33% of the total sample size or approximately 35,631 individuals in the first treatment group (message in Finnish and Swedish), 33% of the total sample size or approximately 35,631 individuals in the second treatment group (message in their own language and Finnish) and 33% of the total sample size or approximately 35,631 individuals in the control group.
Power calculation: Minimum Detectable Effect Size for Main Outcomes 0.29 %-points between treatment and control for Finnish and Swedish speakers. 0.9 %-points between each treatment group and control group and 0.78 %-points for between two treatments pooled and control group. Assuming p-value of 0.05, power of 0.8, and control 0.29%-points between treatment and control for Finnish and Swedish speakers. 1%-points between each foreign language treatment group and control group and 0.86%-points for between two treatments pooled and control group. Assuming p-value of 0.05, power of 0.8, and control group outcome as 0.59 (turnout for Finnish and Sami speakers in 2017 municipal elections) and 0.24 (turnout for all foreign language speakers in 2017 municipal elections), and not using controls. Two-sided test for two sample proportions calculated by using power function in STATA 18.
