    New Joint Esomar-WAPOR Position Paper: Safeguarding Polling in Bolivia

    Today, Esomar and WAPOR are jointly releasing a position paper urging authorities in Bolivia to foster a regulatory environment that enables independent and rigorous public opinion research to thrive. Public opinion research plays a fundamental role in supporting informed democratic debate and transparent electoral processes. While measures that strengthen polling quality, transparency, and methodological rigour are essential, regulatory frameworks should also strive to preserve fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression, access to information, and democratic participation. In this paper, Esomar and WAPOR outline concerns regarding a recently adopted restrictive regulation governing the conduct and publication of electoral polls and opinion surveys in the context of Bolivia\’s 2026 Subnational Elections.
