Redem workshop: Strengthening Electoral Participation

The general goal of this conference is to welcome presentations of research papers or studies that relate to, and facilitate discussion about, different ways to strengthen electoral participation. 

How can we define the notion of "strengthening electoral participation"? Does it include only ways to increase turn-out or also ways to increase the quality of voting? If the latter, how can we understand "the quality of voting"? Have non-electoral processes of citizen participation and engagement any role in strengthening electoral participation? What's the role of political parties, of civil society organizations, of the media, and of social movements and the youth in strengthening electoral participation? And, finally, as an additional question: how the pandemics have affected our democratic elections and how can we strengthen those elections in that context?
