Introduction & Disclaimers
Europe Elects: Truth in Polling is a publicly accessible database that maps and profiles all organisations across Europe that release voting intention data, which they implicitly or explicitly claim is based on methodologically sound, empirically grounded and statistically robust polling.
WARNING: Not all organisations listed here are pollsters. Some organisations claiming to be pollsters should not be considered as such because they do not adhere to minimum industry standards (e.g., following conventional methods of sampling or statistical analysis). Without passing a categorical judgement, this is what this database makes transparent.
WARNING: Polling in authoritarian regimes (e.g., Azerbaijan, Belarus, Russian Federation) may not capture the ‘true’ public opinion, even if following industry standards, due to fears of respondents around repercussions.
With this project, we aim to promote transparency in the polling industry across national borders, as well as deepen dialogue with political pollsters in Europe with the goal of reviewing their work collaboratively with them.
