A research platform for Europe’s public record
Our Elected Europe helps researchers, students, journalists, civil-society organisations, and curious citizens investigate how European decisions are made.
What this product is
We organise official parliamentary and transparency data around research questions: who voted for what, which groups form coalitions, where representatives rebel, how countries compare, and who receives access to decision-makers.
The goal is not to tell you what to think. It is to make the evidence easier to find, test, compare, and cite.
Not a news publication
Our Elected EU News is tailored to reported stories, editorial coverage, and a publication cadence. Our Elected Europe is intentionally different: it is a durable research environment built around datasets, primary records, methods, and source trails.
A current event may lead someone here, but the page they reach should remain useful after the news cycle has moved on.
Research principles
- Primary-source first: link to official records wherever a source URL is available.
- Reproducible measures: publish formulas for participation, rebellion, similarity, and contested votes.
- Visible uncertainty: distinguish member and group evidence, incomplete feeds, stale sources, and small samples.
- No paywall on evidence: all research content and analytical tools are public.
- Commercial separation: advertising never changes rankings, classifications, summaries, or conclusions.
Independence
Our Elected Europe is not affiliated with the European Union, a national parliament, political party, campaign, lobbying organisation, or advertising client. Advertising is sold and served separately from research decisions.
