Key findings from the Scottish Election Study 2007 have been and will be presented in a number of different arenas.

Conference on 'The Impact of Electoral Reform on Democratic Engagement in Scotland', 23 February 2008
This conference, organised jointly by the University of Glasgow and the Electoral Reform Society, included two presentations based on SES data. The first concerned Scottish voters' reactions to coalition government. The second tested for any continuing impact of the ballot paper controversy on willingness to participate. Slides from both presentations are available below:

• Coping with coalitions?
  

• Political disengagement and process assessments
