Migration and electoral integrity: The impact of remittances on vote-buying in Morocco
In both democracies and electoral autocracies, vote-buying is a plausible occurrence. Studies have shown that voters’ characteristics, including income, and contextual conditions, such as the plurality of actors and information sources, shape the prevalence of this phenomenon. Yet, little attention has been paid to the role of transnational factors, notably the transmission of financial and social remittances by emigrants to relatives and friends…

Predicting Popular-vote Shares in US Presidential Elections: A Model-based Strategy Relying on Anes Data
Election forecasting in modern democracies faces significant challenges, including increasing survey nonresponse and selection bias. Moreover, there are limitations to the current predictive approaches. Whereas structural models focus solely on macro-level variables (e.g., economic conditions and leader popularity), thereby overlooking the importance of individual-level factors, survey-based aggregation methods often rely on intuitive procedures …
The determinants of Trump's defeat in 2020: What if the Covid-19 pandemic did not matter
While the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the lives of many people worldwide, it is debated whether it led to the defeat of incumbent Donald Trump in the 2020 American presidential election. We argue that the COVID-19 pandemic had a significantly negative impact on Trump’s support due to his conflicting and populist rhetoric, which culminated in contradictory behavior at a time when Americans sought a consistent leader to “rally round th…
What if it Kicked in More Strongly? A Counterfactual Analysis of Protest Voting's Electoral Consequences in Greece, Italy and Spain
Within the framework of the current democratic crisis, the electoral success of the so-called anti-establishment parties has been repeatedly and often associated with protest voting. Several scholars have tried to deal with this topic in the past, focusing particularly on the psychological dimension of the matter, i.e. on whether individual support for these actors was actually characterised by protest motivations. Yet, in so doing, they have alm…
Political Parties Abroad: A New Arena For Party Politics
Styles of Representation in Constituencies in the Homeland and Abroad: The Case of Italy
The role orientation of political representatives and candidates is a longstanding concern in studies of democratic representation. The growing trend in countries to allow citizens abroad to candidate in homeland elections from afar provides an interesting opportunity for understanding how international mobility and context influences ideas of representation among these emigrant candidates. In public debates, emigrant candidates are often portray…
The electoral behaviour of voters with migration backgrounds and natives at the 2015 and 2019 Swiss National Elections. Two completely different stories
There is emerging understanding in the literature that voters who have a migration background across Western countries tend to vote for left leaning parties. Yet little is known about whether this implies different drivers of vote choice for citizens with migration background in comparison to natives. This article intends to respond to this question by studying the impact of specific policy issue considerations on the vote of citizens with both m…
Twitter as a mirror of political space(s): An analysis of multi-level party competition in Italy
The literature on the nationalization of party systems has found that decentralization of authority leads to increasing territorial heterogeneity of voting behaviour. In this article, we intend to further extant knowledge on this topic by exploring whether different levels of government imply distinct representations of party competition at the citizens’ level. We do so by analysing Twitter data collected during the 2015 regional elections in fiv…

Piecing the Puzzle Together: A Critical Review of Contemporary Research on Protest Voting
After several decades of debate on the so-called protest vote, the extant literature in this field is still far from consistent in conceptualization and analytical perspectives. Yet, at a time of increasing democratic stress, it becomes crucial for political studies to take stock of current research on this topic and assess its general state of health. In the light of this, aim of the present contribution is to piece together the puzzle of analyt…
Government coalitions and Eurosceptic voting in the 2014 European Parliament elections
The 2014 European elections were characterized in many countries by growing support for Eurosceptic parties. This growth was not uniform and not clearly associated with the economic performance of these member states. In this article, we investigate the role played in the 2014 European Parliament elections by a country-specific factor – the composition of government coalitions – different from economic performance. In particular, we argue that in…
Leaders as cognitive shortcuts: On the representation of political competition at the European elections of 2014 in Italy
The huge success of the Democratic Party at the last European Parliament (EP) election in Italy has been widely interpreted as due to the unusual ability of its new leader Matteo Renzi to mobilize support for his party in an era of candidate-oriented and valence politics in which political leaders’ personal characteristics are crucial for vote choices and party performances. Framing the last EP elections as a sign of the overwhelming importance o…
