S2 Ep.3 Compulsory Voting With Professor Shane Singh

How to Win Arguments with Numbers

In this season we look at different issues surrounding elections. In the third episode we talk to Professor Shane Singh from the University of Georgia about compulsory voting. It has been implemented in many democracies, from Australia to Brazil, but what exactly is it, what forms can it take, and how does it affect voters and political parties? The University of Kent Q-Step Centre is part of a multi-million pound national initiative to foster a step change in the quantitative and statistical skills of social sciences undergraduates.
