Project description
Facilitating access to electoral data to strengthen democracy
North African nations face challenges of growing urbanisation, accompanied by poverty, housing shortages, and socio-political unrest. Since the pro-democratic uprisings of 2011, the region has also experienced profound political transitions. Funded by the European Research Council, the ELYSSA project aims to create a toolset that will allow interested parties to investigate and analyse extensive post-2011 electoral data in the Maghreb region. Easy access to voting and socioeconomic data will serve a range of interests, including those of non-governmental organisations, the media, political stakeholders, and relevant institutions. In turn, interested parties will be better able to form development strategies based on informed decisions.
Objective
ELectoral information and analYSis System for the enhancement of democrAcy.
Building on the expertise in electoral analysis developed within the ERC TARICA (Political and Socio-institutional Change in North Africa), the ELYSSA project (ELectoral information and analYSis System for the enhancement of democracy) aims at facilitating access to electoral information by providing different categories of users (NGOs, media, political actors, cooperation institutions) with tools for the analysis of voting and political change in the post-2011 Maghreb. The project consists in the development of a tool for exploration, visualization and analysis of electoral data. The ELYSSA platform will allow for in-depth, multi-scalar analysis of electoral results, the establishment of electoral time series and dynamic electoral analyses, as well as correlation analyses between voting results and socio-economic data. The proposed analysis tools address a variety of needs, enabling users to manipulate election data autonomously to form independent opinions and make informed decisions.
