Salt Lake City’s Biannual & Panel Survey Process Why Does the City Conduct a Biannual & Panel Surveys? The city conducts surveys to gather feedback from residents on various topics, which helps inform city policies and services. The biannual survey also tracks changes over time and analyzes long-term trends. How Survey Participants Are Selected Survey participants are selected through a random sampling process to ensure a diverse and representative group of respondents. Participants receive a postcard inviting them to take an official City survey and are asked to complete it online using a unique identifier provided in the invitation. Both the invitation and survey are offered in English and Spanish. Biannual Survey vs Panel Survey The biannual survey is conducted every two years to gauge changes in quality of life over time and tracks approval of the city and the services we offer. Panel surveys capture public sentiment on important and timely civic matters. The most recent biannual survey was conducted in April 2024.
