COVID started in 2020 and now it is 2024. Most jurisdictions, organizations and structures having a nominally democratic process will have had at least 1 round of elections since that time.
Has anyone done analysis of what effects COVID has had?
for example
-
were incumbent candidates more/less successful than excepted?
-
were parties in power at the time more or less likely to stay in power compared to expected?
-
moving to the left, moving to the right?
-
differences depending when the democratic processes took place, e.g. elections in 2020 vs 2023
-
were any effects seen at local levels compared to national?
-
overall an change in voter turnout or public participation?
Probably lots of other interesting questions that could be asked. These are just examples to explain what I'm getting at.
