Election in Greece

The Congressional Research Service, a department of the Library of Congress, conducts research and analysis for Congress on a broad range of national and international policy issues. Some of the CRS work is carried out specifically for individual members of Congress or their staff and is confidential. However, there is also much CRS compiled material which is considered public but is not formally published on the CRS website.

For that reason a number of other organisations try to keep track of these publications and make them publicly available via their own websites. Currently, ESO uses the following websites to track these reports and allow access to them in ESO:

Federation of American Scientists (FAS)

In some cases hyperlinks allows you to access all versions of a report, including the latest. Note that many reports are periodically updated.After continued economic troubles due to the debt crisis that arose in 2009 and the impending threat of Grexit, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, who had taken office in January 2015, resigned on 20 August 2015 and a legislative election was scheduled for 20 September 2015. This report draws a picture of the situation a few days before the election, describing the parties and envisioned outcomes.
