The Project on Political Transformation and the Electoral Process in Post-Communist Europe is a research project based in the Department of Government at the University of Essex, UK, and is part of the ESRC 'One Europe or Several?' research programme.

The principal aim of the project is to explain the role of electoral systems in the process of democratisation in post-communist Europe. The investigation will focus on twelve core countries (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine), but where available we have provided data for other post-communist states.
