"If we think of votes as 'votes for' candidates, then it would make some sense to declare any candidate who wins only a plurality of votes, but not a majority, as the victor." ~ Donald J. Boudreaux
Die Autorin untersucht die Unterschiede in der Wahlbeteiligung auf subnationaler Ebene bei allgemeinen Wahlen in Ghana. Sie verwendet einen Fallstudienansatz mit gemischten Methoden, bei dem quantitative und qualitative Daten kombiniert werden, um eingehende Nachweise für drei systematische Wahlkreise mit unterschiedlich hoher Wahlbeteiligung zu erbringen. Die Ergebnisse der Studie stellen die strikte Anwendung der Rational-Choice-Theorie in Frage, um ein umfassendes Verständnis der Gründe für eine unterschiedliche Wahlbeteiligung zu liefern. Das Buch entwickelt hingegen ein Modell für individuellen und kollektiven Nutzen, der das "conceptofutility" erweitert, um Unterschiede in der Wahlbeteiligung zu erklären. Die Schlussfolgerungen aus dem Buch heben die Bedeutung des lokalen Kontexts für die Prägung des Wählerverhaltens hervor und unterstreichen die Vorrangigkeit der lokalen politischen Dynamik.

The level of electoral turnout is arguably the most widely monitored form of electoral participation. Consequently, electoral systems have often been cited as having a significant effect on turnout levels even though scholars do not agree on the effects of these complex institutions. Since most previous studies have relied on categorical or dichotomous electoral system indicators, this study utilizes Carey and Shugart's personal vote index to gain theoretical leverage on other electoral system components. In short, I find that where electoral competition is predicated on party, rather than candidates', reputations, turnout levels rise. The results of a time-series cross-sectional analysis reveal that the personal vote index significantly influences turnout levels even when controlling for a host of other factors.

The National Front's claim to be populist makes it part of very widespread movement in Europe, which could be characterized by the refusal of mediation, the call to the people against the elite. But mistrust towards a political personnel considered as corrupt is, for example, also widespread in the electorate of extreme left. The voter of the FN is characterized rather by his ethnocentrism, his rejection of the others. And populist is not necessarily synonymous with "popular". The most disadvantaged social category, that of the workmen, is more represented in the electorate of the PC or the Hunters that in the FN, which makes better scores by the craftsmen, the industrialists and the liberal professions. The popular classes are distinguished initially by their abstentionism. The extreme right is thus at the same time less "populist" and less "popular" than it does appear. ; Le Front national, en se revendiquant du populisme, s'inscrit dans une mouvance très répandue en Europe, qui pourrait se caractériser par le refus de la médiation, l'appel au peuple contre les élites. Mais la méfiance envers un personnel politique considéré comme corrompu est, par exemple, aussi fréquente dans l'électorat d'extrême gauche. L'électeur du FN se distingue plutôt par son ethnocentrisme, son rejet des autres. Et populiste n'est pas nécessairement synonyme de « populaire ». La catégorie sociale la plus défavorisée, celle des ouvriers, est plus représentée dans l'électorat du PC ou des Chasseurs que dans celui du FN, qui fait de meilleurs scores chez les artisans, les industriels et les professions libérales. Les milieux populaires se singularisent d'abord par leur abstentionnisme. L'extrême droite est donc à la fois moins «populiste» et moins «populaire» qu'il n'y paraît.

After the EU referendum, suspicions grew about the role of Russia in clinching the narrow 'win' for Brexit. Evidence was mounting that there had been deep involvement and interference by Russian 'agents' whose aim was to destabilise the EU by enabling Britain's departure from it. It was no secret that Russia's Prime Minister/President, Vladimir Putin, […] The post A vote for Brexit was a vote for Putin appeared first on EU ROPE.
The scholarship regarding vote centers primarily focuses on their impact on voter turnout. Though previous literature suggests modest and conditional increases in voter participation, the mechanism by which vote centers increase participation is less understood. One suggested mechanism is that they provide voters a better experience at the polling place. In this article, we investigate whether voters who cast their ballot at vote centers have a better experience than those who vote at traditional precinct polling places. Utilizing a unique dataset collected from exit polls of Election Day voters before and after the implementation of vote centers in Harris County, Texas, we examine if vote centers improved the voters' experience. Contrary to theoretical expectations, we find that those who voted at a vote center reported having a more negative experience. This negative experience is driven primarily by longer lines and less helpful poll workers.
R's in sample surveys who recall voting in high salience elections may forget their participation in simultaneous low salience contests. A sample survey, taken by the Wise Survey Research Laboratory in 1965 showed an expected 11% overreport of voting in the 1964 Wisc presidential primary; but the same sample revealed a 7% underreport of participation in the simultaneous state supreme court election. A very high 25% of R's gave "don't remember" responses on participation in the judicial election. Treating these "forgetful" R's as judicial voters or nonvoters according to whether they participated in the presidential primary created a new judicial sample, somewhat more reliable for analysis, with an expected 9% overreport. 2 Tables.
