This project will use social media as data to study electoral violence
Specifically, the project will use tweets about electoral violence to identify incidents of electoral violence in selected elections around the world
Slide5Using social media to approximate events
A
dictionary of terms will be developed
Pilot coding of tweets will be conducted manually and compared with independent data on electoral violence for pilot cases
Machine-learning techniques will be developed to analyse tweets and interpolate from these a list of incidents of electoral violence + salient characteristics of each incident
