This contradicts the news that during General Election in 2012 and 2014, violence incidents happened in Kota Sabang such as burning cars, intimidation by using sharp weapons, and stealing the ballot boxes. The research question raised is the tendency of conflict that probably could happen in Kota in 2017. This research uses the qualitative approach by having depth interview with related parties. The data analysis is done using SIPABIO model to map the probability of conflict. Through the SIPABIO (Source, Issue Parties, Attitude, Behavior, Intervention, and Outcome) conflict mapping, this research tries to find out that Sabang also has conflict potency by having repeated election violation cases in the previous elections which provoked the conflicts. Even though it has relatively low conflict potency, prevention effort should be seriously made by the candidates, organizer and election supervisors, police as well as community to maintain peace and security of the election.

Voter turnout in local elections (pilkada) is a participation indicator. The local election in 2015 was different from the local elections pre-2015, as the local election in 2015 was held simultaneously.

This socialisation was expected to increase voter turnout. The purpose of this research to ascertain the level of voter turnout in the local election held in 2015 in Lamongan, and whether it is increasing or declining.KPUD has a new role not only to do with socialisation, but KPUD must also print campaign props in line with the fairness principles. The research methods used in this study were a survey and multistage random sampling for the sampling technique. The voter turnout in the 2015 local election was just 60.47% lower than the voter turnout of the 2014 legislative election(Pileg) that reached 71%. In the local election, the emotional bond between the voters and candidates is more powerful than that in a legislativeelection, but in the Lamongan local election 2015, it was not positively correlated. There are two main factors that influence the decrease of voter turnout. First, is the material orientation of the voters (sangu). If they do not get“Sangu”, they will not vote and they prefer to work in the fields. Voters thought that leaving their job for the election should get them substitution money. Second, was the indication of cartel politics, embracing all political parties in Lamongan Regency, for them to support the same candidate who was still on duty, namely Fadeli, and two other candidates. The level of voter turnout is influenced by the material orientation of the voters and cartel politics.

Generalized Duverger`s Law and Local Elections in Korea

This paper tries to explain what the Duverger’s law which says that the single-member plurality system tends to produce the two party system is and the mechanism through which it works and generalize the law to deal with the multi-member plurality system as well as the single-member plurality system. Then the paper empirically tests whether this generalized Duverger’s law works in Korean local elections or not by using the electoral data from the 4th and 5th Korean Simultaneous Local Elections. The paper in conclusion finds that the M+1 rule which can be considered as the generalized Duverger’s law at the individual constituency level works well in single-member districts where M=1 and works rather poorly when M is more than 1 and designates regionalism in Korea as the main reason why the generalized Duverger’s law is not much applicable at the regional and the national level.

Are Danes More Inclined to Ticket Splitting than the Swedes and the English?1

The first ever simultaneous general and local elections in Denmark (November 2001) allow for a comparison of Danish voters’ inclination towards inter-level ticket splitting with similar phenomena in Sweden and England. Inter-level split-ticket voting occurs when voters cast their vote on two different parties in the two different (but simultaneous) elections; this happened far more often in Denmark in 2001 than in the two other countries. One hypothesis suggests that this owes to party system differences between the three countries, since both the number of parties running in the different elections and the discrepancy between the national and the local party systems are expected to influence the level of inter-level vote splitting. However, elec-tion statistics and survey data based analyses (Denmark in 2001, Sweden in 2002, and England in 2001) give only limited support to the hypothesis. It appears that Danish voters did in fact split their 2001 national and local votes more than Swedish and English voters did and more than party system differences can account for.

Intra- and Inter-alliance Relations after the 2004 European and Provincial Elections

The European elections of 12 and 13 June 2004, and the simultaneous partial local elections, were of great significance for Italy’s national-level politics. For all that European and sub-national elections are quite different from national ones, the European elections were a nationwide test, of a sort, of the relative electoral appeal of the government and opposition. More importantly, both levels of elections had a powerful impact on the evolution of relations within the House of Freedoms and between the opposition parties. Within the government majority, the European elections saw Prime Minister Berlusconi’s party, Forza Italia, weaken markedly, thus reinforcing the aspirations of the prime minister’s most reluctant allies, the National Alliance (AN) and the Union of Christian Democrats and Center Democrats (UDC), to force a rewrite of the government program and, in the most ambitious (and unstated) of hypotheses, to put an end to the prime-ministerial aspect of Berlusconi’s government—perhaps even to Berlusconi’s leadership itself.

Forecasting on British Election Night 1997

Summary An account is given of methods used to predict the outcome of the 1997 general election from early declared results, for use by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) in its election night television and radio coverage. Particular features of the 1997 election include extensive changes to constituency boundaries, simultaneous local elections in many districts and strong tactical voting. A new technique is developed, designed to eliminate systematic sources of bias such as differential refusal, for incorporating prior information from the BBC’s exit poll. The sequence of forecasts generated on election night is displayed, with commentary.
