Do citizens adhere to deliberative principles when they talk politics? And is there such a thing as a deliberative citizen? Find out in our new paper @pvs-journal.bsky.social!

"Wahlleiter warnen vor der Briefwahl - viele Stimmen könnten auf dem Postweg liegen bleiben." Fairness und Integrität von Wahlen und so. Zum Glück sind Wahlen in repräsentativen Demokratien ja nicht soooo wichtig. www.zeit.de/politik/deut...

Read this recent article in @electoralstudies.bsky.social, “Mind the gap(s): Winning, losing, and perceptions of electoral integrity in mixed-member proportional systems,” by Christian Schnaudt: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #polisky

So was konnte ja niemand ahnen. Also außer z. B. der Bundeswahlleiterin, die für Warnungen heftig kritisiert wurde…

Under no circumstances should German 🇩🇪 academia be too "comfy". Peak performance can only be reached by keeping people on fixed-term contracts and not providing them with any sensible long-term perspective. #noirony

Federal #elections in Germany 🇩🇪 are near! Check out my new article on what citizens' views about the quality of elections imply for compliance with governmental laws and regulations. #Bundestagswahl

"Gleichzeitig sei »die gezielte Diskreditierung ungewünschter Kandidatinnen und Kandidaten« vorstellbar sowie »ein Infragestellen des Wahlprozesses an sich« oder »das Schüren von Zweifeln an der Rechtmäßigkeit und korrekten Durchführung der Wahl«." www.spiegel.de/politik/deut...

Even in Germany 🇩🇪, a country with a long-standing record of free and fair elections, about 20% of citizens doubt the integrity of the electoral process. What do such doubts imply for citizens‘ compliance with the law? #polisky 👇

And nobody has given a single **** ever since.

Optimist: The cup is half full. Pessimist: The cup is half empty. 🇩🇪 scientific system: There is neither a cup nor anything to drink for you.

❓ Do citizens disobey the law when they feel that elections are rigged? 🚨 In a new OA paper @polstudies.bsky.social, I examine this question with German data: "Perceptions of Electoral Integrity and Election-Related (Non-)Compliance: Evidence from Germany" (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...)

"Wir treffen in diesem Moment auch eine Entscheidung über unsere politische Kultur."

💡 Ever wondered how the "conspiratorial challenge" to electoral integrity and legitimacy looks across contexts? I have a new paper in Public Opinion Quarterly (AAPOR) that sheds light on exactly that question using data from the European Social Survey. doi.org/10.1093/poq/...

Including our two cents on the conditional relationship between electoral integrity perceptions and voting across contexts. Check it out!

🚨 In a new publication, Christof Wolf (GESIS) and I shed light on how the integrity of the electoral process and individual perceptions about the proper conduct of elections are related to citizens’ voting behavior. 🌐 OPEN ACCESS ➡️ www.nomos-elibrary.de/10.5771/9783...
