    Abstract
    The Comparative National Elections Project (CNEP) is a partnership among scholars who conduct election surveys. CNEP began in the late 1980s with surveys in the first national elections of the 1990s in Germany, Britain, the United States and Japan. It expanded in 1993 to include eight more countries and additional questions. CNEP now includes 35 national election surveys in 21 countries. It is now the third-largest international project of its kind. This dataset is a South African subset of the international dataset from the 2004 wave of the CNEP survey, CNEP III (South Africa was added as a survey country in this wave). Over time, new question modules have been added to capture important aspects of elections in the new member countries. The Mershon Center for International Security Studies at Ohio State University hosts the CNEP website, and sponsors some of the surveys.
