Everything about Psephology totally explained
Psephology (from Greek
psephos, 'pebble', which the Greeks used as ballots) is the
statistical analysis of
elections. Psephology uses compilations of precinct voting returns for elections going back some years, public
opinion polls,
campaign finance information and similar statistical data. The term was coined in the
United Kingdom in
1952 by historian
R. B. McCallum to describe the scientific analysis of past elections. In Britain the term occasionally appears in scholarly literature.
Psephology also has various applications specifically in analysing the results of election returns for current indicators, as opposed to predictive purposes. For instance, the
Gallagher Index measures the disproportionality of an election.
