The EP elections are not only a hotly debated problem in European media but also quite a challenging issue for their general low voter turnout. We are entirely aware of the fact that the EP elections differ from the concept of the particular country elections that we have solely focused on so far but we believe this data is of a high relevance to our database.
Since the launch of the voter turnout database, the Electoral Processes Programme at International IDEA has ensured that the data have been regularly updated.
The primary sources for the data on voter registration, total vote and corresponding voter turnout are the national electoral management bodies EMBs and national statistical bureaus of countries listed in the database. Data from the EMBs are obtained from either their official reports or information provided in their official web portals.
In few cases, when data are not available from the EMBs, the information on voter turnout is obtained from secondary sources as listed above.
Population and VAP statistics are always obtained from secondary sources. In addition, inputs and suggestions from the users of the database are also regularly taken into account. When a user suggests an update for the data available in the database or provides information for the missing data, this information is sent automatically to the respective staff in the Electoral Processes team who can verify this information and make updates if the data provided are correct.
