A measurement of the electron charge asymmetry in inclusive pp→W+X→eν+X production at sqrt[s]=7 TeV is presented based on data recorded by the CMS detector at the LHC and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 840 pb(-1). The electron charge asymmetry reflects the unequal production of W(+) and W(-) bosons in pp collisions. The electron charge asymmetry is measured in bins of the absolute value of electron pseudorapidity in the range of |η|<2.

The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 2.9 pb(-1).
