Broadly focused, covering electoral campaigns & strategies, voting behavior, and electoral institutions, this Elements series offers the opportunity to publish work from new and emerging fields, especially those at the interface of technology, elections, and global electoral trends.
We seek authoritative manuscripts and cutting edge work on electoral institutions and the administration of elections; election and campaign technology; political campaign strategy, tactics, and communications; campaign finance and spending; polling, surveying, and predictive modeling for political campaigns; participation in politics and turnout; voting behavior; emotions, political, and cognitive psychology; and voter mobilization. While much of the work in this field is quantitative or formal/game-theoretic in nature, we encourage submissions that use multiple methods, including qualitative methodologies and creative ways of integrating empirics. For quantitative research, we will seek to integrate data and code into published manuscripts; and for mixed or qualitative methods, we will work on creative ways of integrating empirical data such as images, interview texts or recordings, or archival documents.
