Abstract: The document presents a general overview of the electron reconstruction, identification and isolation performance in the ATLAS experiment. The results are obtained using 13[Formula: see text]TeV proton–proton collision data collected during the LHC Run-2. The electron reconstruction efficiency is higher than 97%, and the ratio of data to Monte Carlo simulation efficiency is close to unity, with associated uncertainties generally smaller than 0.1%. The electron identification is shown for three working points, and depending on the electron [Formula: see text], it can be as low as 60%, increasing to more than 80% above 50[Formula: see text]GeV. The correction factors are close to one, generally within 5%. Five isolation working points are recommended in the ATLAS experiment, to successfully reject fake/nonprompt electrons. Their dependency on the electron identification working points is shown and discussed, as well as their pile-up dependency, and their performance versus electron [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].
