Voters’ Behaviour in Sub-National Politics

Abstract

Political scientists have devoted much effort to understand the behaviour of voters. The great bulk of evidence, however, stems from shedding light on electoral campaigns and voting behaviour at the national level. Despite some notable exceptions, the conclusion that sub-national electoral politics has been largely neglected still stands. The present panel seeks to close this gap by zooming into the sub-national layer of multilevel states. The papers focus on topics of partisanship and vote choice at the regional and local level.
