Can a non-response affect a survey result?
Non-response does not always have a negative effect on survey result (there is a large body of research in this area: Curtin, Presser, and Singer 2000 ; Keeter et al. 2000; , and Earl, “The Practice of Social Research”). Anything over 50% is usually sufficient, and over 70% is viewed as a very good response rate.
What does it mean when a question is not answered?
Invalid response – the question was answered, but the response was not a valid one (e.g. invalid date, number versus text etc). Null response – the question was shown and an empty or null response was returned (this is usually a web browser issue).
What is a null response on a survey?
Null response – the question was shown and an empty or null response was returned (this is usually a web browser issue). NA – the question was explicitly NA’d – the participant clicked/tapped a “No Answer”/”Not Applicable” option.
What are the different types of non-responses?
At question level, there are many types of non-response: Non-presented – the question has not been presented (seen), due to the person not getting to that point in the survey (yet). Non-presented (skipped) – the question was not presented (shown) as it was skipped over (by the survey flow/skip logic).

How can the Commission adopt a position after not receiving a response?
However, as of today, we have not received any response, which demonstrates the Commissioner’s inability to react to a situation that would have deserved immediate action. So how can the Commission adopt a position since we have not yet received any response. The applicant has not received any response despite the duty to state reasons.
