Key Findings: IFES Indonesia Electoral Survey 2010

A summary of key finding from the survey is provided below. Some comparative data from an IFES 2008 survey is also cited. The sample size for that survey was also 2,500 and was nationally representative of all voting-age individuals across Indonesia. The margin of error for a survey of this size is plus/minus 2%.

Post-Election Public Opinion in Kosovo 2010: Findings from an IFES January 2010 Survey
The data collected after Kosovo’s first elections since declaring independence offer a unique snapshot of a young country optimistic, yet continuing to struggle with economic issues and divisions between ethnic groups. The 2009 municipal and mayoral elections were widely seen as well organized, free and fair, and voters report proper procedures taking place in polling stations. Still confidence in the power of the vote, while still fairly high, dropped between the 2007 and 2009 elections.

Best Practices and Pitfalls in the Procurement of New Technologies for Elections
Administration of elections is a complex business. Most senior administrators, whether
they are elected officials, politically appointed or employed as civil servants, come
from other fields with little or no specific election experience. Many are lawyers or
judges; others are employees of government offices responsible for civil registries, tax
records, or vital statistics. Still others are politically prominent citizens nominated by
political parties to serve on election commissions activated during election cycles.
Most of them become “election professionals” through actual experience on the job.
As all election officials learn, the picture is never static.
