The Opposition Performance Index
A composite measure of how effectively democratic opposition operates across institutional, organisational, and electoral dimensions.
What the OPI measures
The Opposition Performance Index scores countries from 0 to 10 across four weighted factors drawn from V-DEM v16 indicators (2018โ2025). It captures not only whether opposition exists, but whether it has the capacity, organisation, environment, and electoral pathways to function as a meaningful democratic counterweight.
