Representation and Electoral Systems
We tackle key questions in the fields of electoral systems and representation.
Representation and Electoral Systems is a global community that promotes the research, teaching, and evaluation of electoral systems across various countries. We host events and build an infrastructure for exchanging ideas and supporting our collective scientific endeavors. Since 1984, our community has been officially sustained as an organized section under the American Political Science Association.
