Election Science Panels at APSA

I’m jetting off to the annual meeting of the American Political Science Association, which this year is in San Francisco.  For the non-political scientists who read this blog, the APSA meeting is the biggest convention of political scientists, with over 7,000 in attendance.  Naturally, there will be a number of panels of interest to those who follow the field of election science.  For the aid of those who will be attending, below I list the panels (and a few poster sessions) that have papers likely to be of interest to the field.  I likely missed some, and would welcome hearing about additional ones I might add.

The links go to the panel descriptions.  I’ve been warned that the links don’t always work, so caveat emptor.

In addition, Pippa Norris and her crew will be holding their annual pre-APSA election integrity workshop, where Barry Burden will be presenting a paper he and I co-authored with some great coauthors, about the Wisconsin recount. Take a look at the workshop website here.

Below are the election science panels I’ve identified for the main APSA conference.  Enjoy!
