Political analysts are interested in analyzing the social perceptions of the current Democratic Party candidates in New York City. The number of registered Democrats and Republicans in the city is known. To form a sample of 1000, the analysts send out a team to sample the Democrats and the Republicans in proportion to the numbers registered. The team goes to major shopping malls and stops people as they enter, asking whether they are registered with one of the two parties. If so, the person is asked to fill out a questionnaire. The sampling technique used here would best be described as:
