| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
Firstly, in 2023 I conducted a survey where I compared the political attitudes of voters that lived in cities that had had uncontested mayoral elections and those that had competitive elections. I will submit the paper to a journal during the summer of 2024. I also employed an RA to help me with data cleaning, preparing the survey and other. Further expenses included buying a tablet as well as printing costs from the National Diet Library (NDL), all related to the project.
