Portuguese electoral
behaviour

The Portuguese Electoral Behavior program is responsible for carrying out post-election surveys since 2002. These surveys have allowed us to characterise the Portuguese voter, to understand electoral change, as well as place Portuguese electoral behaviour in a comparative context.

Election studies data

Since 2002, the CEP has been responsible for implementing post-election surveys following legislative elections.

Publications

Related projects
