One of my students is working on Electoral behaviour in Lahore. She wants to compare general and bye elections in Lahore (she can change the focus of the study at the moment). Kindly suggest some useful readings in this regard, outlining determinants of the electoral behaviour and methodology to be used.
Furthermore, Kindly suggest some scale that has already been developed to study electoral behaviour.
You might have her read my paper on special vs general elections in Louisiana. Special versus general elections and composition of the voters: Evidence from Louisiana school tax elections. Then she can look at Google scholar for papers that cited it and at my references in the past. While not as directly related, my paper in Kyklos in 2009 might also be of interest.

I would highly suggest "American Public Opinion" by Erikson and Tedin. Also, "Unequal Democracy" by Larry Bartel's. Finally, "Why Young People Don't Vote" by Wattenberg.
