EIP is based at the Department of Government and International Relations at the University of Sydney and Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government.
The Electoral Integrity Project is a 6-year project that was launched in conjunction with the IPSA World Congress in 2012.
Through quantitative research, the project explores three key issues:
(1) When do elections meet international standards of electoral integrity?
(2) What happens when elections fail to do so?
(3) What can be done to mitigate these problems?
