Freedom of vote and family voting in Albania

Following the first survey (2014), which focused on the situation of women in Albania in regards to their voting behavior, the 2017 survey was conducted to elicit citizen opinions on different practices that might intervene with the freedom of voting as well as understand and identify the current systemic flaws behind the high occurrence of such practices. According to the 2017 survey, the general interest in politics and government remains low, similar to the first wave of the study in 2014. 1300 interviews (50% Women, 50% Men) in total were conducted in rural and urban areas through face to face interviews in the period of October to November 2017.
