This book explores how the United States institutions of democracy have affected a citizen's ability to participate in politics. The 2000 election and the ensuing decade of research demonstrated that the institutions of elections vitally affect participation. This book examines turnout and vote choice, as well as elections as an institution, administration of elections and the intermediaries that affect a citizen's ability to cast a vote as intended. Kropf traces the institutions of franchise from the Constitutional Convention through the 2012 election and the general themes of how institutions have changed increasing, democratization and production federal growth over time in the United States.

"The People's Choice is a landmark psychological and statistical study of American voters during the 1940 and 1944 presidential elections, originally published in 1948. Amid a burgeoning interest in statistics and population sampling, it constituted the first systematic effort to trace voters' behavior across the duration of a presidential campaign and to follow up on this data years later. During the 1940 campaign, Paul F. Lazarsfeld, Bernard Berelson, and Hazel Gaudet followed a sample population of six hundred people from Erie County, Ohio, interviewing them monthly in the seven months leading up to Election Day. Their subsequent study in 1944 expanded the sample to include a nationwide cross-section of two thousand voters. Contrary to the fears of the time, Lazarsfeld, Berelson, and Gaudet found that media such as newspapers and radio and campaign advertising did not have a profound influence on individual voting habits. Instead, interpersonal interactions and word of mouth were more significant for most voters. They argued that mass media reached a small but crucial subset of people, who passed information on to less avid media consumers. The study paired the same interviewers and interviewees over time, leading to remarkable extended conversations featuring more casual and exploratory discussions than were typical of social-scientific research. Quoted verbatim, they offer additional insight into the American electorate. A groundbreaking work of empirical political science, The People's Choice remains of great importance in an era of anxiety about the influence of media on voting behavior"--

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.
