Abstract
This report focuses on local perceptions of the 2014
presidential elections in Afghanistan. It situates the elections
within growing concerns about the political uncertainty of
the upcoming transition and explores what Afghans might
consider to be a “free and fair” poll in this context. The report
details the findings from over fifty interviews conducted with
respondents from three different regions of the country, both
male and female, and representing all of the major ethnic
groups. This research, funded by the United States Institute
of Peace, builds, in particular, on earlier in-depth studies of
the 2009 and 2010 elections conducted for the Afghanistan
Research and Evaluation Unit.
