Election Misinformation and Voter Behaviour in the Social Media Age

Studies how misinformation campaigns on social media influence voter perceptions and turnout.

About this project

This project studies the effect of election misinformation on voter perceptions, candidate evaluation and turnout intention. Combining a survey of voters with content analysis of debunked election-period claims, it traces how false narratives travel, who believes them, and whether fact-checking interventions change minds.
