Abstract
This paper, the last of three in a Chatham House series on voter perceptions in the Afghan elections,
is intended to provide insights into how certain groups of Afghans are reacting to the elections in
areas of Kabul where participation was generally high. It is based upon research carried out in the
weeks leading up to and following the elections by experienced Afghan researchers who covered the
2009/10 elections in the same areas of Kabul, allowing for comparative analysis. Respondents
included a broad sample of potential voters, young and old, literate and illiterate, male and female,
from a range of occupations, ethnic groups and backgrounds.
