Compile pre-election research for each nation, including government and legislature structure, electoral system, key candidates and parties. Identify and evaluate official and third-party sources of international election results, assessing their reliability, format, update cadence and accessibility for integration into AP's data infrastructure. Work with AP's quality control team to verify elections results and uphold AP's standards for integrity and fact-based, nonpartisan journalism in all research and data efforts. Collaborate with AP journalists, data scientists, developers and others across text, photo, video, audio, digital, social, interactive and graphics formats to support coverage of international elections.

Experience with SQL, Python or other programming languages is a plus. Advanced-level professional competency in written and spoken English.
