This phenomenon of retrospective voting requires that individuals integrate and appraise streams of performance information over time. Yet past experimental studies short-circuit this 'integration-appraisal' process. This title develops a new framework for studying retrospective voting and present eleven experiments building on that framework.

The main focus of this brief is to discover how being an immigrant in the United States affects their voting behavior. Through learning more about the process immigrants have to go through to become a U.S. citizen, a better understanding of what drives their voting behavior will be discovered.
This paper focuses on methodological aspects of Voting Advice Application (VAA) research. Self-selection into the treatment and self-selection into the sample need to be controlled for if the aim is to deduce causal effects from VAA use in observational data. This paper outlines omnipresent endogeneity issues, partly imposed through unobserved factors that affect both whether individuals use VAAs and their subsequent electoral behavior. Some research on VAAs has acknowledged the problems associated with selection biases, but practically none have taken steps towards improving these shortcomings. This paper introduces various approaches for handling selection biases and applies them to VAA data from Switzerland. These methodological considerations are of outmost importance for the relevance and validity of VAA research. [Copyright Elsevier Ltd.]
""There is no doubt that this book will become a standard text in courses on voting and elections." Joanna Everitt, co-author of Advocacy Groups in the Canadian Democratic Audit" ""This is an excellent textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate courses in voting and elections, a supplementary text for more general courses in Canadian politics, and an important addition to the scholarly literature in the field. I will be using it in a number of my classes." Keith Archer, co-author of Quasi-Democracy? Parties and Leadership Selection in Alberta" "The recent string of minority governments has reminded Canadians that voting behaviour has serious consequences-on the composition of government as well as on the direction of public policy. Understanding the underlying meaning of election results is a key issue for policy makers and for students and scholars of politics. But can voting behaviour be explained, given that each vote represents the influence of countless impressions, decisions, and attachments?" "Voting Behaviour in Canada reveals the challenges of understanding election results as leading young scholars of political behaviour piece together a comprehensive portrait of the modern Canadian voter. By systematically exploring long-standing attachments, short-term influences, and proximate factors (campaign issues and poll results), the contributors offer a multi-faceted analysis of voting behaviour that incorporates the insights of theories developed to illuminate the influence of certain factors. Theoretically grounded and methodologically advanced, Voting Behaviour in Canada sheds new light on the choices we make as citizens and provides important insights into recent national developments."--Jacket

This book presents a collection of papers illustrating the variety of "experimental" methodologies used to study voting. Experimental methods include laboratory experiments in the tradition of political psychology, laboratory experiments with monetary incentives, in the economic tradition, survey experiments (varying survey, question wording, framing or content), as well as various kinds of field experimentation. Topics include the behavior of voters (in particular turnout, vote choice, and strategic voting), the behavior of parties and candidates, and the comparison of electoral rules.--
Conventional wisdom suggests that partisanship has little impact on voter behavior in Brazil; what matters most is pork-barreling, incumbent performance, and candidates' charisma. This book shows that soon after redemocratization in the 1980s, over half of Brazilian voters expressed either a strong affinity or antipathy for or against a particular political party. In particular, that the contours of positive and negative partisanship in Brazil have mainly been shaped by how people feel about one party - the Workers' Party (PT). Voter behavior in Brazil has largely been structured around sentiment for or against this one party, and not any of Brazil's many others. The authors show how the PT managed to successfully cultivate widespread partisanship in a difficult environment, and also explain the emergence of anti-PT attitudes. They then reveal how positive and negative partisanship shape voters' attitudes about politics and policy, and how they shape their choices in the ballot booth.
The focus of this brief is to identify minority religions in the U.S., analyze their voting behavior and note any correlations between religious affiliation and political parties and/or ideologies.
In this methods case, we use the experience from two previous publications to discuss the process of data merging for the purpose of conducting comparative electoral research. These publications devoted to analyzing the electoral effects of voter? evaluations of party leaders on their voting behavior, through the use of leader? personality traits. This has been achieved by pooling several national election surveys into a single dataset. With these case? background, we reflect on questions such as data availability, merging different datasets, and harmonization of dissimilar survey questions. The practicalities of pooling data are discussed, and strategies to overcome common obstacles are provided.
