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

❓ 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/...)

"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.

Briefwahl bei der Bundestagswahl: Die Risiken der Briefwahl stärken vor allem eine Partei
Wahlleiter warnen vor der Briefwahl – viele Stimmen könnten auf dem Postweg liegen bleiben. Das könnte die nahende Bundestagswahl zugunsten der AfD verschieben.

So was konnte ja niemand ahnen.
Also außer z. B. der Bundeswahlleiterin, die für Warnungen heftig kritisiert wurde…
Zu eng geplant: Dresden bittet auf Briefwahl zu verzichten – Zeitpunkt wird zu "heiklem Knackpunkt"
Der enge Zeitplan vor der Bundestagswahl stellt Dresden vor große Herausforderungen. Die Stadt appelliert deshalb, möglichst keine Briefwahl zu beantragen.

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
So, liebe #IchBinHanna, jetzt musst Du Dich entscheiden!

Willst Du (a) die Professur als einzig respektable Position in der dt. Wissenschaft

oder (b) Dich völlig ambitionslos gemütlich im Mittelbau #einkuscheln, wo die Arbeit auf Dauerstellen nur was zählt, wenn Du weiterhin Prof werden willst?

💡 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/...
