Q. Where can I find data on where and when electoral violence occurs?

Hello.

Thanks for contacting University Libraries.  If you have time to make an appointment, we would recommend that so we can drill down into your question and see if there are particular regions, types of statistics you'd like to focus on as well as the parameters of your assignment.  Here is the link: http://library.shu.edu/friendly.php?s=research-appointment. 

To get you started, here are some suggestions.

In Proquest Political Science, you can use "POLITICAL violence" and elections and (global or international) to start your search. Here are some results to look through: http://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=poh&bquery=(political+violence)+AND+(elections)&cli0=DT1&clv0=200401-201412&type=1&site=ehost-live&scope=site

Here is a Google Scholar Search using these search terms: "political violence" election statistics

You can check these sites for data or email the organizations for data.
