The CVM team has so far dealt with issues such as full-time/part-time councillors, voter turnout in local elections, family politics at the local level or whether free food and drink can attract people to an election event in a municipality. The CVM team will continue to develop these lines of research, not avoiding current topics such as artificial intelligence and its use within municipalities.
