<p><b><a></a>About the EPOVB Section</b></p>
<p>The American Political Science Association’s organized section on Elections, Public Opinion, and Voting Behavior (EPOVB) promotes scholarly dialogue related to teaching and research on elections, electoral behavior, public opinion, voting turnout, and political participation, both within the United States and throughout the world. EPOVB is one of the largest and most active sections in the APSA. The section (APSA Section 32) is the union of two divisions: Elections and Voting Behavior (Division 36) and Public Opinion (Division 37). In addition to organizing dozens of panels and presentations at the annual APSA meetings, we recognize superior research in our field by advanced, emerging, and graduate student scholars. Our official journal, <i>Political Behavior</i>, publishes original research in political behavior, public opinion, institutions, processes, and policies.</p>
<p><a></a>Request for your financial contribution</p>
