Around the world, partisan poll watchers observe as elections are conducted and votes tallied. Poll watchers are meant to safeguard elections by ensuring fair vote counting and addressing irregularities in real time. Ideally, partisan poll watchers could boost citizen confidence in elections. However, their involvement in malfeasance may instead raise suspicion and decrease voter trust. This talk examines how partisan poll watchers affect voter confidence using data from a survey experiment and exit poll in Peru.
