Abstract

This panel draws together leading experts in the field of comparative electoral research with all four papers united in their use of data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems (CSES), a project celebrating its 25th anniversary, and which allows scholars to explore electoral behavior comparatively from a micro and a macro perspective over-time. This panel takes a multi-faceted approach and features papers encompassing the full suite of electoral behavior dynamics from turnout to partisanship, and political leaders, and congruence. Empirically all papers take a quantitative, cross-national, and temporal approach to exploring electoral behavior providing new insights into how we measure electoral participation and as to what drives voter sentiments and perceptions.
