LPPS 4320 - Elections and Policy

Effective Start Date: 08/01/2022
This class explores the intersection between how we perform elections and how we craft public policy. We investigate two broad questions (1) the effect of policy on elections – how rules around voting, funding, and the organization of elections influence election outcomes and larger policy discourse, and (2) the effect of elections on policy – how elections shape elite motivations and citizen expectations around the development and passage of policy.
