The study of elections as rituals and power mechanisms, using Sovietological methods to look beyond the official narrative of free choice. Electionology examines how electoral systems are designed to produce predictable outcomes, how media coverage shapes voter perception, how campaign finance ensures that only wealthy candidates or those backed by wealthy interests can compete, and how the mechanics of voting (districting, timing, registration) systematically exclude certain populations. It treats elections not as moments of democratic decision but as complex systems of control that channel dissent into harmless forms.
