Public Expectations and Attitudes in Armenia (2000): Executive Summary of Focus Group Findings
Between May 15-19, 2000, the IFES commissioned a series of focus group sessions (eight in total) to be carried out across Armenia. These focus groups were conducted to find out how ordinary Armenians feel about their leaders and institutions, their confidence in the electoral process, and their overall perceptions of the political and economic situation in Armenia today. While the findings from this research project cannot be said to be scientifically representative of the adult population of Armenia, they do provide important insights into the attitudes and opinions of Armenians of different ages and education, and from different locations. These insights can help aid organizations in identifying areas of greatest concern and need in the process of democratic development in Armenia.

Survey of Election Officials in Armenia (1998): Executive Summary
IFES implemented this survey of election officials in Armenia in order to learn more about their attitudes and outlooks toward the electoral system now in place in Armenia. The fieldwork for the survey took place between Oct. 28 and Nov. 5, 1998. A total of 120 respondents were chosen at random from eight regions (Marzes). These regions were selected to provide a wide geographic variety, such as that between the country’s center of Yerevan and the most remote settlements in Armenia (Syunik). This survey was made possible through funding provided by the United States Agency for International Development.
