I am a PhD student in Politics, funded by the ESRC (SeNSS).
My PhD focuses on the impact of Voter Identification laws on election turnout and perceptions of democratic integrity. This research aims to create a comparative database of Voter ID laws around the world and bring greater understanding to an issue that gains much focus in the USA but very little throughout the rest of the world. In addition, I aim to better understand how ID laws relate to turnout, the elite motivations and public reaction surrounding new laws, expert and individual perceptions of democratic integrity due to ID laws. How ID laws relate to other electoral rules such as registration laws will also form part of my thesis.
