Abstract:

This data-set by the Electoral Integrity Project evaluates the quality of elections held around the world. Based on a survey collecting the views of election experts, this research provides independent and reliable evidence to compare whether countries meet international standards of electoral integrity. The third cumulative release covers 127 national parliamentary and presidential contests held worldwide in 107 countries from 1 July 2012 to 31 December 2014. The survey includes assessments from 1,429 election experts, with a mean response rate of 29%. The study collects 49 indicators to compare elections. These indicators are clustered to evaluate eleven stages in the electoral cycle as well as generating an ov erall summary Perception of Electoral Integrity (PEI) 100-point index and comparative ranking. The data is available for analysis at three levels: 1,429 individual experts, 127 elections, and also 107 countries.
