European Election Studies (EES)


Elections to the European Parliament are held every five years. These elections are conducted in a co-ordinated fashion by universal suffrage throughout the countries of the European Union (or its predecessor entities the European Community and the European Economic Community). At each of these elections, except for those of 1984, the academic community has fielded surveys of voters in all the countries that took part. This web site gives access to materials describing these surveys and the studies of which they formed part, and to the findings of these studies. Although no academic survey was fielded to study the European Elections of 1984, relevant questions were included in the Fall 1984 Eurobarometer which is thus also included in the following list.
