Perceptions of Electoral Integrity Index, 2025 compilation

Each country’s newest reading as of 2025; every row carries its own year · stored as published, never rewritten

The Perceptions of Electoral Integrity Index rates how well each country's most recent national election met international standards, on a 0–100 scale, from a survey of election experts carried out after every contest. The Electoral Integrity Project builds it from four principles: whether candidates could genuinely compete, whether everyone could take part, whether voters could weigh real choices on reliable information, and whether disputes were settled fairly.

Perceptions of Electoral Integrity Index, 2025 compilation covers 171 countries on 6 measures. Sweden is highest, at 88.605; Iraq is lowest, at 12.865. The middle country reads 54.781.
