Election Integrity & Foreign Influence Database

The truth about elections, held to a single standard.

Elections documented, attacked, and defended — with proven falsification kept strictly apart from interference, propaganda, and mere anomaly. Every finding is tiered by the strength of its evidence.

Kenya 2017 Presidential Election and Fresh Election

Kenya's Supreme Court annulled the declared 8 August presidential result because the election was not conducted in accordance with the Constitution and law and the result process was not sufficiently transparent or verifiable. A fresh election followed on 26 October after Raila Odinga withdrew and called a boycott; turnout fell sharply and voting did not take place in 25 constituencies amid insecurity. The Court dismissed later petitions and upheld Uhuru Kenyatta's fresh-election victory. This case separates invalid administration from proof of a different numerical winner: the first judgment voided the process, not by declaring an alternative tally.

Statistics

Open Data

Bulk exports and a read-only API, CC BY 4.0.

Five categories, never conflated

The difference between these is the whole point. An attacked election is not the same as a falsified one.

Result falsification

The recorded numbers do not reflect the votes cast.

Process violations

Unequal media access, repression, illegal financing, vote buying, misuse of state resources.

Foreign interference

Cyberattacks, hack-and-leak, covert foreign financing, impersonation of media or institutions by a foreign state or proxy.

Information operations

Troll farms, fake local-media networks, covert political ads, coordinated inauthentic amplification — foreign or domestic.

Statistical anomalies

Patterns in the data worth examining — explicitly not proof of fraud.

A finding sits in exactly one category. Colors and icons carry the same meaning everywhere on the site.

From the case files

What was proven — and what was not

The clearest test of a trustworthy record is whether it can hold both statements at once.

Romania 2024 Presidential Election (annulled)

What is established

Process violationsConfirmed
The Constitutional Court, acting ex officio, annulled the entire first round on 6 December 2024 and ordered the process restarted, after intelligence was declassified on 4 December.
Sources:1 2 3
Information operationsConfirmed
A coordinated inauthentic operation on TikTok artificially amplified the leading candidate; TikTok removed 27,217 inauthentic accounts and France’s VIGINUM documented the astroturfing and covert influencer recruitment.
Sources:1 2

What is not established

Foreign interferenceContested
That Russia or any specific foreign state directed or funded the operation — not established. VIGINUM concluded the sponsor remained unknown, and the annulment ruling itself did not explicitly attribute the operation to a foreign state.
Sources:1 2
Result falsificationDebunked
No ballot falsification or miscount was alleged or found. A recount confirmed the first-round tally; the annulment rested on campaign conduct and finance, not on altered vote totals.
