Living Together, Voting Together: Voters Moving in Together Before an Election Have Higher Turnout
Scholars have long noted that couples are more likely to vote compared to individuals who live alone, and that partners' turnout behavior is strongly correlated. This study examines a large administrative dataset containing detailed information about validated turnout and the timing of individuals moving in together, and finds evidence of a substantial and robust increase in turnout after cohabitation. The study exploits the fact that two-voter h…
Jamais outra vez - Revisitando a obra Brasil nunca mais, uma ode a Dom Paulo, cardeal dos maltratados
No final do itinerário das lutas para vencer as investidas do poder ditatorial que se instalara no país, como de resto em vários outros países da América Latina, um grupo de líderes religiosos e humanitários, que se dedicara à resistência contra os torturadores do sistema ditatorial e à proteção às vítimas do golpe de estado, maquiado por seus agentes como revolução, escreve uma obra de impressionante valor. A obra Brasil, nunca mais foi um marco…
Is Door-to-Door Canvassing Effective in Europe? Evidence from a Meta-study across Six European Countries
A vast amount of experimental evidence suggests that get-out-the-vote encouragements delivered through door-to-door canvassing have large effects on turnout. Most of the existing studies have been conducted in the United States, and are inspiring European mobilization campaigns. This article explores the empirical question of whether the American findings are applicable to Europe. It combines existing European studies and presents two new Danish …
Bias in Self-reported Voting and How it Distorts Turnout Models: Disentangling Nonresponse Bias and Overreporting Among Danish Voters
Most nonexperimental studies of voter turnout rely on survey data. However, surveys overestimate turnout because of (1) nonresponse bias and (2) overreporting. We investigate this possibility using a rich dataset of Danish voters, which includes validated turnout indicators from administrative data for both respondents and nonrespondents, as well as respondents’ self-reported voting from the Danish National Election Studies. We show that both non…
Core and Peripheral Voters: Predictors of Turnout Across Three Types of Elections
Citizens who abstain from voting in consecutive elections and inequality in turnout in democratic elections constitute a challenge to the legitimacy of democracy. Applying the law of dispersion, which stipulates higher levels of turnout and higher levels of equality in turnout are positively related, we study turnout patterns across different types of elections in Denmark, a high-turnout European context. Across three different elections with tur…
Can governments use Get Out The Vote letters to solve Europe’s turnout crisis? Evidence from a field experiment
Declining levels of turnout are a problem in European elections. Are Get Out The Vote campaigns the solution to the problem? While many studies have investigated such campaigns in the US, little is known about their effect in Europe. The article presents a field experiment in which encouragement to vote in an upcoming Danish election is delivered to more than 60,000 first-time voters using direct personal letters. Eight different letters are desi…
How Election Polls Shape Voting Behaviour
This article investigates how election information such as opinion polls can influence voting intention. The bandwagon effect claims that voters ‘float along’: a party experiencing increased support receives more support, and vice versa. Through a large national survey experiment, evidence is found of a bandwagon effect among Danish voters. When voters are exposed to a news story describing either an upwards or downwards movement for either a sma…
How voter mobilization from short text messages travels within households and families: Evidence from two nationwide field experiments
Residential Mobility and Turnout: The Relevance of Social Costs, Timing and Education
Getting Out the Vote With Evaluative Thinking
Democratic institutions often do not evaluate their instruments. By working closely with authorities, we developed a field experiment to examine an initiative to increase voter turnout among 18-year-olds that had not previously been evaluated. Particular attention was paid to developing an appropriate program theory and to designing the evaluation in a manner that was consistent with legal and ethical requirements. The program distributed differe…
