Abstract: In 1946, Neyman, Jessen, Deming, Kempthorne, Daly, and Blythe conducted a series of sample surveys as sampling experts of the two Allied Missions that were set up to observe the preparation and conduct of the Greek parliamentary elections (March 31) and the revision of electoral rolls for the plebiscite (September 1). This article revisits these surveys, using both published and unpublished sources, and discusses the lessons learned from their history as they relate to current sampling practices.
