摘要
Democratic states face logistical challenges managing elections that are magnified when territorial integrity is threatened. This article investigates the effects of conflict and occupation on election administration and outcomes, using data from Ukraine's 2014 snap presidential and parliamentary elections. We analyze the effects of the conflict, reflected in the movement of polling stations, reduced participation, and partisan results. Our findings suggest that the Ukrainian state was successful at containing the conflict, limiting its effects on voters and administrators. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
