Abstract

This panel delves into the relationship between electoral campaigns, polarization, and participation, exploring how election cycles influence democratic processes and voter behavior. Through a series of empirical studies across various electoral contexts, the papers shed light on the polarizing effects of campaigns, the nuances of affective polarization during elections, the impact of electoral polarization on voter turnout, and the interplay between polarized partisan attitudes and vote-switching behavior.
