Conference on Covid and Elections in the V4 Region: Legislative and Municipal Elections

The consortium will announce an open call for a conference on the impact of the pandemic to the electoral regimes of the region, and the potential long-term consequences of these changes will be highlighted. The primary target group is the academic community of the V4 countries, but Papers will be accepted also from outside of the region, if the topic is sufficiently relevant. The event will give the best opportunity to promote the research project and present our results in a specific panel. It is planned to hold side events (round-tables) with lawyers, government officials and other stakeholders (electoral officers, especially a policy roundtable just before the main conference). https://jog.tk.hu/en/crises-and-democracy
