Does prepaid postage increase voter turnout? An analysis across time and municipalities in Switzerland
Political participation is the backbone of democracy. One measure to increase voter turnout in vote-by-mail systems is prepaying postage. Previous studies investigated the effect of prepaid postage and found that it significantly increases turnout. Using an original data set covering all national direct democratic votes in 1893 Swiss municipalities from 2005 to 2023, we replicate earlier studies and investigate temporal as well as contextual vari…

Not Tough Enough? Gender Stereotypes and Vote Choice in Switzerland
While many studies examine the effect of gender stereotypes on electoral chances of women candidates in the US, little research investigates this relationship outside two-party systems and experimental designs. This article examines the relationship between gender stereotypes and vote choice for women candidates in the Swiss federal election of 2019. Our regression analyzes show that voters holding male issue stereotypes are less likely to elect …
Human Capital and Social Capital in the Creation of Political Participation in Switzerland
Political participation is essential for a well‐functioning democracy. Although political participation is linked to the level of education, little research investigates the political participation of people with a low level of education. This study examines whether the effect of low education on political participation can be offset by social capital, using a novel data set from 2022 comprising 4,000 respondents residing in Switzerland. The inte…
Direct democracy, personality, and political interest in comparative perspective
For many, direct democracy is said to increase political interest. To date, however, empirical findings regarding this relationship remain inconclusive. In this article, we claim that this inconclusiveness can be partly ascribed to the diverse effects that direct democracy has on individuals. In other words, direct democracy influences political interest, but how and to what degree depends on an individual’s personality traits. Running hierarchic…
Country Bumpkin or City Slicker? The Role of Place of Living and Place-Based Identity in Explaining Place-Based Resentment
In recent years, the rural-urban divide has not only made its way back into political science, but has also been given an entirely new angle by investigating place of living as its own social identity. However, research is still in its early stages and studies so far focus on linear explanations of place-based resentment. This paper studies place in the light of social identity theory and investigates how place of living and place-based identity …
Confidence Across Cleavage
Since political trust is crucial to the survival of political systems, securing its high levels is essential. While Switzerland exhibits a large rural–urban divide in direct democratic votes, it has not yet been researched whether such a divide also exists with regard to political trust. In my investigation of the Swiss rural–urban divide in political trust, I bring in place as a social identity and evaluate whether the rural–urban divide is cont…
The geography of autocracy. Regime preferences along the rural-urban divide in 32 countries
There is growing concern about a political divide between urban and rural places. Against this background, we evaluate the geography of regime preferences regarding a key aspect of democratic support, e.g. attitudes towards democracy and its authoritarian alternatives. We would like to find out whether possible rural-urban differences are due to different socio-economic situations, differing values or to the degree of political discontent of urba…
