Extraterritorial Voting Rights and Restrictions Dataset (EVRR)

The Extraterritorial Rights and Restrictions dataset (EVRR) is a global time-series dataset of non-resident citizen voting policies and procedures. No existing data source simultaneously captures the scale (195 countries), time frame (1950 - 2020), and level of detail concerning extraterritorial voting rights and restrictions (over 20 variables).

Project Investigators:

Nathan Allen (St. Francis Xavier University)

Elizabeth Iams Wellman (Williams College / ACMS)

Benjamin Nyblade (UCLA School of Law)

EVRR has been generously supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, UCLA’s Promise Institute, Williams College Class of '57 Fellowship, and the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice at Princeton University.
