- Elections are sometimes funded by a diverse and broad array of institutions and international organizations. It is not always feasible to collect all stakeholders’ data on election costs, and so data sets within this portal may be incomplete. Where possible, we distinguish between where a cost was not applicable for a specific election, and where we are simply missing data.
- While we endeavor to base all of our cost entries on primary data sources, for some case studies, cost data was reported to the Pricing in Elections team orally and could not be independently verified.
- Adding figures for Cost Categories and their various Sub-categories together will lead to double counting of some election expenses.
- Data is separated into Cost Categories, Sub-Categories and Secondary Sub-Categories. Monetary amounts associated with Cost Categories ARE INCLUSIVE of costs logged in their corresponding Sub-Categories and Secondary Sub-Categories.
- In turn, monetary amounts associated with Sub-Categories ARE INCLUSIVE of costs logged in corresponding Secondary Sub-Categories.
