New research spotlight! 📢❗🚨

Check out this paper by Michael Herron & @electionsmith.bsky.social on disability and voter turnout. Drawing on Florida administrative data, they find that voters needing assistance are more likely to both abstain and have their postal ballots rejected.

👉Check out our new publication in @electoralstudies.bsky.social (with Toth & Chytilek)! Using eye-tracking and surveys, we test whether framing political issues in moral terms attracts more attention than presenting them with facts. Surprisingly, facts hold a slight advantage doi.org/10.1016/j.el...

🚨 New publication alert! 🚨
Why do some people keep voting throughout their lives while others drop out? And how do authoritarian elections - even uncompetitive ones- shape citizens’ habits?
Ksenia Northmore-Ball and I tackle these questions in my new paper, now out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social.

My experiment on election outcomes, partisan identity & affective polarization is now out in @electoralstudies.bsky.social.

Puzzle: From a group ID lens, outcomes could shift both perceived out-party threat & in-group status → ambivalent predictions for affective polarization.

‪Can one further improve the common (face-saving) turnout question in election surveys? Our new publication
@electoralstudies.bsky.social tested this w three alternative wordings & validated turnout data. Short answer is that the current version works already pretty good!

Does prepaid postage on ballot return envelopes increase voter turnout? In our new paper in @electoralstudies.bsky.social @pierre-lue.bsky.social and I analyse all Swiss municipalities (2005 to 2023) and find that the increase in turnout lags several years behind and depends on the municipal context

Der Effekt von vorfrankierten Stimmcouverts auf die #Stimmbeteiligung sorgt gerade auf lokaler Ebene immer wieder für politische Diskussionen.
In unserem Artikel zeigen @alinazumbrunn.bsky.social und ich, dass die Situation komplexer ist, als gedacht
