Abstract

This article introduces a special issue on trust in elections. While the number of electoral democracies has grown globally, we are currently experiencing a crisis of electoral trust. Political polarization, social divisions, and the rapid spread of misinformation have all been related to enhanced widespread skepticism about the quality of national elections. The special issue is focused on two central questions: How can we explain variations in trust in elections at the individual and country levels? How does trust in elections shape political behavior? In the introduction essay, we frame the contributions of the special issue, provide descriptive statistics about trust in elections globally, summarize the current state of the literature, and point to avenues for future research.

全球选举信任危机
本文介绍关于选举信任的特刊。虽然全球选举民主国家的数量有所增加,但我们目前正在经历一场选举信任危机。政治两极分化、社会分裂以及错误信息的迅速传播都与人们对国家选举质量的普遍怀疑有关。本特刊主要关注两个核心问题:我们如何解释选举信任度在个人和国家层面的变化?对选举的信任如何影响政治行为?在引言文章中,我们阐述了本特刊的贡献,提供了有关全球选举信任度的描述性统计数据,总结了文献的现状,并指出了未来的研究方向。

期刊介绍: Published since 1937, Public Opinion Quarterly is among the most frequently cited journals of its kind. Such interdisciplinary leadership benefits academicians and all social science researchers by providing a trusted source for a wide range of high quality research. POQ selectively publishes important theoretical contributions to opinion and communication research, analyses of current public opinion, and investigations of methodological issues involved in survey validity—including questionnaire construction, interviewing and interviewers, sampling strategy, and mode of administration. The theoretical and methodological advances detailed in pages of POQ ensure its importance as a research resource.
