A wonderful moment at #APSA2026 in Boston presenting my new book, Why Elections Need Parties: Managing Free and Fair Elections in Latin America and Africa, published by Cambridge University Press.
I’m deeply grateful to Rachel Beatty Riedl, Nicholas Kerr, Arturo Sánchez Gutiérrez , and Luis Carlos Ugalde for such an engaging and generous discussion—and to everyone who joined us.
The book asks a deceptively simple question: how can electoral institutions become genuinely autonomous and capable of delivering free and fair elections? Drawing on evidence from Latin America and Africa, I argue that political parties can sometimes be part of the solution rather than simply a threat to electoral integrity.

A very exciting day—my copy of The Oxford Handbook of Electoral Integrity has arrived! Thrilled to see “Principles for Integrity in Redistricting,” coauthored with Micah Altman, in print.

La #redistritación es un proceso fundamental para la democracia. Garantiza que cada voto tenga el mismo peso y que los ciudadanos sean los encargados de elegir a sus representantes y no al revés. Desde 1996, el INE ha llevado a buen puerto estos procesos con el aval de TODOS los actores políticos. #ElPlanB, atenta contra la capacidad del @INEMexico de llevar estos procesos a buen puerto. Les comparto el Amicus Curiae que presentamos (@drmaltman, @ElectProject y Eric Magar) ante la @SCJN. #votoigual #ReformaElectoral Ver: drive.google.com/file/d/1LyH…
