We invite submissions to PoliticalNLP 2026, the 3rd Workshop on Natural Language Processing for Political Sciences, co-located with LREC 2026. The workshop will take place in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, at the Palau de Congressos de Palma.
Theme for 2026 Trust, Transparency and Generative AI in Political Discourse Analysis Large language models and generative AI are increasingly shaping political communication, public opinion, and democratic processes. PoliticalNLP 2026 provides an interdisciplinary forum to examine these developments critically and responsibly, at the intersection of NLP, political science, law, and the social sciences.
