The Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES) is composed of researchers from more than 60 countries with the shared goal of investigating critical questions around elections, turnout, and voting in the United States and worldwide. Each participating researcher raises their own funding and uses agreed-upon, high-quality scientific methods to select and interview a representative set of persons from each country. The interview includes a questionnaire designed by the CSES and changed every five years to address a new set of important issues. The resulting interviews are combined into a single data resource with information about their countries and electoral systems which CSES distributes on its website at no cost. The ability to compare across countries helps scientists, students, policymakers, and the public better understand how people feel and behave around elections and voting, to what extent the country they find themselves within influences them, and how and why elections proceed differently across the world.The project has two broad goals: to complete in-progress Module 6, which is designed to support new discoveries regarding citizens’ roles in representative democracy under stress, and to design Module 7. CSES Module 6 provides data from 50+ countries to advance discoveries on questions regarding how citizens view the functioning of their democratic political systems, and with what consequences for electoral attitudes and behavior. To complete Module 6, the project will continue to audit, clean, and harmonize newly-contributed election study datasets from around the world and disseminate individual and comparative (cross-national) datasets that contain both micro (individual) and macro (district, country, administrative) data. To design Module 7, CSES will constitute a new international planning committee that will crowd-source proposals from leading scholars around the world and determine the thematic focus of that module. In addition to these core activities, the project features a new “data playground” to disseminate awareness of and access to CSES datasets; supports and expands the project’s network of international and US collaborators; and continues to set new standards for the scientific methods for the comparative study of elections, disseminating awareness of these via white papers, conferences, and other engagements.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

选举系统（CSE）的比较研究由来自60多个国家的研究人员组成，其共同目标是调查有关选举，投票和全球投票的关键问题。每个参与的研究人员都筹集了自己的资金，并使用同意的，高质量的科学方法来选择和采访来自每个国家的代表人士。访谈包括由CSE设计的问卷调查，并每五年更改一次，以解决一系列新的重要问题。由此产生的访谈将其合并为单个数据资源，其中包含有关其国家和电子系统的信息，这些信息是CSES在其网站上免费分配的。跨国家进行比较的能力可以帮助科学家，学生，决策者和公众更好地了解人们在选举和投票周围的感受和行为如何，他们在何种程度上发现自己在何种程度上影响了他们，以及在世界范围内的选举如何以及为什么在全球范围内进行不同的目标。 50多个国家提出有关公民如何看待其民主政治制度的运作的问题，以及对电子吸引力和行为的影响。为了完成模块6，该项目将继续审核，清洁和协调来自世界各地的新成立的选举研究数据集，并传播包含微（个人）和宏观（地区，国家 /地区）数据的个人和比较（跨国）数据集。为了设计7个模块，CSE将构成一个新的国际计划委员会，该委员会将众筹来自全球领先学者的建议，并确定该模块的主题重点。除了这些核心活动外，该项目还具有一个新的“数据游乐场”，以传播对CSES数据集的认识和访问。支持和扩展该项目的国际和美国合作者网络；并继续为科学方法制定新的标准，以通过白皮书，会议和其他参与来进行选举的比较研究，传播对这些方法的认识。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准来通过评估来获得支持的。
