TAROUCO, Gabriela da Silva. Electoral integrity: Conceptual developments and methodological challenges. Elecciones [online]. 2023, vol.22, n.25, pp.47-86.  Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 1994-5272.  http://dx.doi.org/10.53557/elecciones.2023.v22n25.02.

This article describes the concept of electoral integrity, how it developed from previous ideas in the literature, so as discusses some methodological alternatives for its measurement. Additionally, it presents electoral integrity in close connection to the debate on electoral governance institutions, while incorporating political actors in the analyses. Furthermore, the article uses examples from Latin America to demonstrate the limits of perceptions data as measures of electoral integrity. As surveys to experts and voters show divergent perceptions, survey researchers and participants must consider its consequences.

Keywords : Electoral governance; electoral integrity; elections.
