PERCEPTIONS OF ELECTORAL INTEGRITY
……………………………………………………
The Perceptions of Electoral Integrity (PEI) dataset by the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP) provides a comprehensive analysis of how well countries' electoral processes meet international standards of electoral integrity. Based on a survey that collects the views of election experts, the PEI dataset provides an overall score for each election, ranging from 0 to 100, as well as comparative rankings of countries based on these scores.
The release of PEI 10.0, our most recent release, adds 42 new contests to the PEI dataset. This report explores in more detail eight key contests in 2023: general elections in Zimbabwe, Turkey, Argentina, Nigeria, and Thailand, the presidential election in Egypt, and legislative elections in the Netherlands and Poland. The release of PEI 10 also presents a number of changes to the methodology of aggregating the overall PEI Indices. This follows a move to measure electoral integrity in terms of whether elections empower citizens and deliver democracy. There are now some additional questions in the survey designed to capture whether elections achieve this.
In collaboration with the Carter Center, interns from Emory University are an integral part of putting together the PEI index. A special topics class allows them to explore topics around data collection methods, expert surveys, and electoral integrity in the real world. They also contribute invaluable aid in finding experts for our PEI surveys, and often write a case study based on the PEI Index that gets featured on our blog.
This partnership is made possible by the Carter Center-Emory University Democracy and Electoral Integrity Completion Fellow, a fellowship sponsored by the Carter Center that provides a year-long position for a graduate student at Emory University.
