New journal issue

No. 1 (5)

The editorial board gladly presents the first 2021 issue of Electoral Politics journal (fifth issue overall). This time the issue includes research papers by Sergei Shpagin, Yurii Korgunyuk, Vladimir Mikhailov and Arkadii Lyubarev. The Discussion section includes two papers on the recent US presidential election: one by Sergei Zhavoronkov, Aleksei Kasyan and Moshe Yanovskiy, and one by Aleksandr Kireyev. The two papers present differing views on electoral fraud in the 2020 US presidential election. Concluding the issue is a virtual roundtable discussion on conducting elections in the pandemic.
