📣 NEW PAPER KLAXON 📣 "Who lacks voter identification? The electoral implications of the Elections Act 2022" With Ed Fieldhouse, @caprosser.bsky.social, @jack-bailey.co.uk, @jonmellon.bsky.social (@britishelectionstudy.com) Just published at Parliamentary Affairs: academic.oup.com/pa/advance-a...

Excited to announce that from Monday I will be starting a Post-Doc at King's College on the ERC funded Advocacy in Digital Democracy project, led by @annerasmussen.bsky.social. A change of location (within London) and topic for me but something highly relevant to politics today

As a preview to the local elections tomorrow obviously the outcome is important but many areas will be dealing with voter ID for the first time. Particularly in big cities such as London, Greater Manchester and Liverpool. (1/n)

Can't think of a better first post than a thread on my PhD which passed with minor corrections yesterday! With the title: 'The impact of Voter ID Laws on Participation and Perceptions of Electoral Integrity: An International Study' (1\n)
