Electoral Studies
Vote concentration and spatial dynamics
This research project aims to fulfill a gap in electoral studies. With the use of electoral geography and spatial statistics, my objective is to find a pattern that could connect vote concentration with other contexts relating to the national and particularly the local level. Considering the daily relations that voters have and the strategies of political parties, my intent is to better understand the electoral dynamics and its consequence in terms of legislative behavior, elucidating, thus, the ways in which electoral strategies are affected and affect the relationship between politicians and voters.
