The #ReformsObservatory works as a repository to identify and systematize the reforms carried out in a series of dimensions related to the electoral system and the rules that regulate competition in the 18 democratic political systems of the region. We put this information in #ComparativeTables that contribute to the dissemination and comparative knowledge of the rules of the game of the countries of the region. Once the information is consolidated, the #ObservatorioReformas is dedicated to transforming them into Databases, to be used in statistical packages, with the objective of contributing to the generation of quantitative, comparative and rigorous knowledge about the region.
