Centre for Voting and Parties > Research

In general terms, the researchers at the Centre for Voting and Parties study:

• The electorate: opinions, values, knowledge, and behaviour
• Elections: to the Danish parliament (the folketing), local authorities, regional councils, the European Parliament, etc
• The political parties: their organisation, members, behaviour, etc.
• Plebiscites
• Parliaments and their institutions, especially the Danish parliament, its committees, party groups, etc.
• Electoral campaigns and campaigning, including the communication of parties, etc.

These topics are studied both from a specifically Danish perspective and from an international, comparative perspective.

CVAP-researchers work on various research programs. You can read about them here or to the left.
