HISTORY

Established in 2011, SMRC is grounded in the methods of public opinion surveys in Indonesia. Dr. Saiful Mujani, the founder of SMRC, is one of the pioneers of political analysis and public policy based on quantitative surveys in Indonesia. Slot Magazine (2007) called Dr. Mujani the “architect of public opinion surveys in Indonesia.” Previously, Dr. Mujani led the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI) from 2004 to 2008.

Within two years, SMRC has completed 270 surveys of public opinion, both at the national and local level and executed a quick count and exit-poll. SMRC also has experience giving advice to a number of political parties, political candidates, government agencies, and private companies.
