Panel Theme

This panel discusses the link between electoral reforms and the overall quality of electoral governance and integrity. Papers provide evidence on the relationship between these two phenomena, by looking at how policy reforms enhance electoral integrity (consequences of reforms) and how poor levels of electoral integrity and governance shape the conditions for subsequent policy changes (causes of reforms).
