The Cooperative Election Study is a data infrastructure project involving the collaboration of research teams from over 70 different academic institutions. Collectively, these research teams have fielded national surveys of 35,000 adults in 2006, 37,000 in 2008, and, with partial funding from NSF, 54,000 in 2010 and 55,000 in 2012. Each research team that wishes to be involved in the project purchases a 1,000 person sample survey from the same firm. Each individual team determines half of the questions on its survey. The other half of the content, Common Content, is created by a design committee, drawn from the participating teams. Common Content consists of questions that every team would like to measure or questions that are of broad interest and require a very large sample. The project, thus, fields as many as the there are teams and also produces a single large sample survey that consists of the Common Content. With 35 teams in 2006, there were 35 individual team surveys each with a sample of 1,000 and a single common survey of 35,000 cases. The survey, through the use of modules, encompasses a vast range of research topics that individual teams seek to answer. Researchers have used their team modules to conduct standard survey research on particular themes and questions for which appropriate public use data are not available. Others have used their modules to conduct experiments with political advertisements, pictures of candidates, information about the economy, and other treatments. Since its inception, the survey has produced studies that have appeared in over 100 journal articles and dozens of books. These include over a dozen articles that appeared in the top journals in the discipline as well as articles in law, sociology, statistics, and economics. Studies utilizing this data have focused on a wide variety of topics including elections, voting behavior, public opinion, political parties and polarization, the opinion on wars and other military interventions.The survey has helped to create and sustain a network of researchers interested in state and national elections, survey design, and public opinion. Participants have included graduate students and undergraduates who not normally have access to surveys of this size. These participants develop research skills especially in the area of questionnaire design, and generate further research ideas that can be pursued through this or other vehicles. Additionally, the scholars involved in this project will continue to use the data to develop educational material relating to the survey that can be adopted widely as part of Political Science undergraduate and graduate curricula.

合作选举研究是一个数据基础设施项目，涉及来自70多个不同学术机构的研究团队的合作。总的来说，这些研究团队在2006年对35000名成年人进行了全国调查，2008年对37000人进行了调查，在国家科学基金会的部分资助下，2010年对54000人进行了调查，2012年对55000人进行了调查。每个希望参与该项目的研究团队都从同一家公司购买1000人的抽样调查。每个小组决定其调查中一半的问题。内容的另一半，Common content，是由一个设计委员会从参与的团队中挑选出来的。公共内容由每个团队想要测量的问题或具有广泛兴趣并需要非常大样本的问题组成。因此，该项目可以输入尽可能多的团队，并且还可以生成由公共内容组成的单个大样本调查。2006年有35个小组，有35个单独的小组调查，每个小组有1000个样本，一个共同的调查有35000个案例。该调查通过使用模块，涵盖了各个团队寻求答案的广泛研究主题。研究人员使用他们的团队模块对没有适当公共使用数据的特定主题和问题进行标准调查研究。其他人则利用他们的模块对政治广告、候选人照片、经济信息和其他处理方法进行实验。从一开始，这项调查就产生了100多篇期刊文章和几十本书中出现的研究结果。其中包括十几篇发表在该学科顶级期刊上的文章，以及法律、社会学、统计学和经济学方面的文章。利用这些数据的研究集中在各种各样的主题上，包括选举、投票行为、公众舆论、政党和两极分化、对战争和其他军事干预的看法。这项调查帮助建立并维持了一个由对州和全国选举、调查设计和公众舆论感兴趣的研究人员组成的网络。参与者包括研究生和本科生，他们通常没有机会参加这种规模的调查。这些参与者发展研究技能，特别是在问卷设计领域，并产生进一步的研究思路，可以通过这个或其他工具来追求。此外，参与该项目的学者将继续利用这些数据编制与调查有关的教育材料，这些材料可以作为政治学本科和研究生课程的一部分被广泛采用。
