Europe Elects is a polling organization founded in 2014 by Tobias Gerhard Schminke, which collects and publishes information concerning opinion polls in European countries. It has been supported by the Austrian organization Verein zur Förderung des paneuropäischen politischen Diskurses und der Informationen zur Wahlen und Wahlumfragen (English: Association for the support of paneuropean political discourse and information concerning elections and surveys) since 2018.
Format
The organization publishes polls done by professional polling companies in all European countries and its subdivisions in order to show both the level of support for national parties as well as for the European Union in each country. Europe Elects uses standardized labels and colours for national parties presented in polls. The publications regularly point out the affiliation of national parties with their respective European Parliament groups, which has been adopted by other media outlets over time. Furthermore, overviews of the positions of the single parties and candidates are being provided.[1]
Europe Elects publishes on the basis of the collected data a European projection for the European Parliament on a regular basis and shows how the results as if there were elections on that day. At the 2019 European Parliament election Europe Elects had the most precise forecast for the European Parliament.[2]
Spread and perception
Results published by the organization are frequently cited on Euronews and it is considered a major media source concerning the European Parliament [3][4] which is being quoted frequently as in European [5][6][7][8]as in worldwide publications[9][10][11][12], is represented in the Centre for European Policy Studies [13] and a constant source for journalism concerning European politics.[14]
