Citizen Survey for Municipalities – questionnaire preview

With this template, municipalities gather structured feedback from their residents.

It is deliberately anonymous to encourage honest and representative answers.

Frequently asked questions

Is the citizen survey anonymous?
Yes. No personal data such as name or address is collected. Only analyse results in sufficiently large groups to preserve the anonymity of participants.
Can I adapt the questions to my municipality?
Yes. After loading the template you can edit, add or remove any question – for example the districts available for selection or additional service areas.
How many responses do I need for meaningful results?
This depends on the size of your municipality. The more residents take part, the more reliable the results – especially when analysing by district or age group.
