Consortium on Electoral Democracy/Consortium de la démocratie électorale (C-Dem)

The Consortium on Electoral Democracy/Consortium de la démocratie électorale (C-Dem) is network of researchers, electoral management boards, policy makers, and civil society organizations to build upon mutual interests and pool resources and knowledge to investigate the health of democracy across the country and over time. It addresses urgent questions about political engagement, underrepresentation, levels of government, the evolution of public opinion between and across elections, and data collection practices with an evidence-based, cooperative approach to studying electoral democracy, during federal elections as well as subnationally and between elections.
