Vanderbilt University’s Center for Global Democracy is the new U.S. institutional home for the Comparative Study of Election Surveys, a leading global resource for understanding elections and democratic governance. This move strengthens Vanderbilt’s leadership in global democracy research, building on three decades of international collaborations and the CSES’s reputation as the premier source of comparative electoral survey data. Moving the CSES to Vanderbilt aligns with CGD’s existing strengths in international survey research, most notably its flagship AmericasBarometer project. Together, these initiatives position Vanderbilt as a global hub for comparative research on democracy. “The Comparative Study of Election Surveys exemplifies the power of sustained international collaboration and open, high-quality data to deepen our understanding of democracy,” Provost C. Cybele Raver said.
