The lead researchers are based at the University of Oxford and the University of Manchester. The first study was conducted by David Butler and Donald E. Stokes. Since then the BES has provided data to help researchers understand changing patterns of party support and election outcomes. The British Election Study (BES) is one of the longest running election studies world-wide and the longest running social science survey in the UK.
