Election salience revisited: How elections (do not) boost affective polarization
Introduction to the Special Issue “The 2023 Swiss National Elections”
The 2023 Swiss federal elections took place in a multi‐issue context. Various international crises caused global uncertainty, which dominated media and social discourse during the election year. Ultimately, the election results strengthened the right wing, but not exclusively. This special issue of the Swiss Political Science Review brings together eleven articles addressing various topics relating to voting behavior and the congruence between vo…
Regional affects and attitudes towards immigrants: The case of Belgium
War in the campaign? Issue emphasis and issue salience during the 2022 French presidential campaign
The outbreak of war in Ukraine 6 weeks before the 2022 French presidential election generated an exogenous geopolitical shock that disrupted the electoral campaign. This study investigates how candidates adapted their issue emphasis strategies in response to this crisis and whether their adjustments aligned with voter issue salience. Using a combination of media content analysis (PolDem dataset) and public opinion survey data (Enquête Electorale …

Retrospective voting in times of pandemic: Comparative evidence from panel data
Existing studies on the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on elections provide incongruent results. For governments’ handling of the pandemic to be a competence signal, voters should believe that incumbents’ actions (actual or potential) might have affected the pandemic and its consequences. Using panel data, this paper assesses whether there was retrospective voting in times of COVID-19 in New Zealand and in the USA. By measuring variables of inte…

Covid-19 et guerre en Ukraine: Influence des crises internationales sur le vote pour Emmanuel Macron
Cet article examine l'impact des crises liées à la pandémie de Covid-19 et au déclenchement de la guerre en Ukraine sur le vote pour Emmanuel Macron au premier tour de l'élection présidentielle de 2022. Pour cela, il met à l'épreuve empirique deux théories établies des conséquences électorales des crises internationales : le vote rétrospectif et l'effet de ralliement au drapeau. Au moyen de données panélisées, cette contribution démontre la perti…
Studying dimensions of representation: Introducing the Belgian RepResent panel (2019–2021)
This research note presents the RepResent Belgian Panel (RBP). The RBP is a voter panel survey consisting of four waves fielded to a sample of voters in Belgium around the May 2019 federal, regional, and European elections in Belgium. It provides unique data on about 250 variables for a quota sample of the same respondents, pre-2019 elections ( N = 7351), post-2019 elections ( N = 3909), one year after the elections ( N = 1996), and 2 years after…
Enfranchisement regimes beyond de-territorialization and post-nationalism: Definitions, Implications, and Public Support for Different Electorates
This article starts from the premise that those who debate and study the expansion of demoi/electorates – from practitioners to empirical scholars and normative theorists – should consider more seriously that migrants are always immigrants and emigrants at the same time. Doing so implies, first, that states can regulate their electorates through four distinct "enfranchisement regimes" in times of transnational mobility: (1) national, (2) territor…
The Welfare Agenda of the Populist Radical Right in Western Europe: Combining Welfare Chauvinism, Producerism and Populism
Recent scholarship on the populist radical right tends to imprecisely describe the welfare agenda of this party family with reference to its key ideological characteristics of nativism, authoritarianism, and populism. We propose an alternative analytical framework that considers the multidimensionality of welfare state positions and the “deservingness criteria” that underlie ideas about welfare entitlement. Applying this framework to a sample of …
Enfranchising immigrants and/or emigrants? Attitudes towards voting rights expansion among sedentary nationals in Europe
Normative debates and comparative studies on voting rights regulations are lively. However, little is known on what citizens think of enfranchising migrants. This paper starts to fill this gap. We conducted an original survey in 26 European countries (n = 16,555). In most countries, an (often narrow) majority of sedentary nationals supports enfranchising emigrants. In all countries, no majority favours the enfranchisement of immigrants, although …
Leader Effects and Voting for the Populist Radical Right in Western Europe
Charismatic leaders are often assumed to drive the electoral success of populist radical right parties. Yet, little attention is given to how voter evaluations of leaders influence individual voting behavior. To our knowledge, no systematic and comparative tests of this empirical question exist. In this paper, we test to what extent voters’ support for populist radical right parties is fueled by leaders' appreciation. In order to examine leader e…
Campaigning in an unprecedented election: Issue competition in the French 2017 presidential election
The 2017 French presidential elections featured an eventful campaign, produced astonishing results, and presented important signs of party system change. This paper analyses the main lines of divide of the demand and the supply side of electoral competition. It analyses the structure of citizens’ preferences, as well as the candidates’ strategic issue opportunities, relying on issue yield theory. To that end, it combines data from an original ind…
