May 17, 2024. The QOE-IJES mourns its founder. Mario Caciagli passed away this morning.

He founded our journal in 1977 and directed it for over 40 years with tireless energy and contagious enthusiasm.

He served until now as honorary president of the Italian Society of Electoral Studies, which he also helped found, and of which QOE-IJES is proud to be the journal.

We thank him for his dedication to the discipline and passion for electoral studies. We will continue leading this journal with renewed commitment and the same energy and passion that he inspired - as he would have loved us to do.
