CHES was administered between October 10 and November 20, 2024 for EU-West countries plus Turkey, and between November 1, 2024 to December 17, 2024 for EU-East countries. The survey was completed by 609 political scientists specializing in political parties and European integration. This wave of the Chapel Hill Expert survey provides information about the positioning of the leadership of 279 parties in 31 countries over the course of 2024 on ideology, policy, populism, democracy, European integration, and select EU policy questions. Country coverage includes all European Union member states except for Luxembourg -- plus Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom. The 2024 survey can be combined with prior waves to produce a trend file with six time points from 1999 to 2019, making the CHES the longest-running, most extensive expert survey on political parties in Europe.
