For statistics to serve the public good, they should support democratic debate. This is particularly important during a general election campaign, when statistics play a role in informing decisions made by the electorate. OSR has an important role in promoting and safeguarding the use of statistics in public debate. You can read more about our role during a general election in this blog post.
