What data is expected?

This data category requires results by constituency / district for all major national electoral contests. Election data informs about voting outcomes and voting process. What are electoral majorities and minorities? How many votes are registered, invalid, or spoilt? To enable highest transparency, the Index assesses polling station data. Data for electoral zones does not suffice. The Index consulted the National Democratic Institute (NDI) to develop this data category. For more information, see the NDI’s Open Elections Data Initiative. We recommend that you consult our methodology section for more information.

  • Results for major electoral contests
  • Number of registered votes
  • Number of invalid votes
  • Number of spoiled ballots
  • Data available at polling station level

How open is the data?

Datasets are timely and available in PDF format, only available by electoral zone level. According to the definition of null and void votes, spoiled ballots would be included in this count: a vote cast is null and void if: the ballot paper has been torn into two or more parts; or has been classified as such pursuant to section 83. A null and void vote shall not be regarded as valid and shall not be counted in determining the results of the elections”.
