The Impact of Undecided Voters in Israeli Elections

This paper examines the impact of undecided voters in elections campaigns in Israel. The question asked here is if undecided voters can break the political dead-lock which became evident in four consecutive elections in just two years – between 2019 and 2021. The paper argues that the crucial role of undecided voters is the result of four main developments. The first is the multi-party parliamentary system, which allows the voters to swing between different parties and influence on handful of options to form coalition government. The parliamentary system emphasizes the excessive and crucial role of small parties to determine who will be in power – which means that they are in a position to impose their extreme ideology on the entire society. The second is that participation in elections is constantly declining, increasing the impact of motivated voters who follow the campaigns closely before making their final decision. The fact that this audience is persuaded by specific events and not by ideology or social identity allows to maximize the impact of their vote. The third is related to technological and cultural changes. Digital and social media have become popular among Israeli young people and first time voters, allowing them to promote new social and political behavior and bypass the censorship of traditional media and the traditional ideology of non-first time voters and the old political establishment.

The transforming landscape of cannabis in southwest Michigan: a case study of regulations and the role of small-scale growers

This article examines the nature of and controversies within southwest Michigan’s unique cannabis community during the state’s imposition of a new regulatory model for medical cannabis businesses. These transformations occurred at the same time voters in the state struck down prohibition in 2018, arguably facilitating an even more anomic environment for medical cannabis patients and stakeholders. Data presented here comes from an eclectic mix of key informant interviews (n = 9), focus groups of cannabis patients (n = 21), informal researcher observations, and news reports. These are combined to create a case study that illuminates a variety of tensions during a transformational time. Results are then broken down between two overarching themes—How new regulations favoring big businesses made medical cannabis scarce for patients, and how the inclusion of caregivers in the new regulatory system may have prevented such a scarcity. Following the results is a discussion which synthesizes the literature on medical cannabis social movements and the cannabis subculture with the tensions and controversies documented in Michigan. The article concludes with implications and practical strategies for regulatory bodies as both medical and adult-use cannabis moves from the underground and into the formal economy.

Voting Lines, Equal Treatment, and Early Voting Check-In Times in Florida

AbstractLines at the polls raise the cost of voting and can precipitate unequal treatment of voters. Research on voting lines is nonetheless hampered by a fundamental measurement problem: little is known about the distribution of time voters spend in line prior to casting ballots. We argue that early, in-person voter check-in times allow us identify individuals who waited in line to vote. Drawing on election administrative records from two General Elections in Florida—1,031,179 check-ins from 2012 and 1,846,845 from 2016—we find that minority voters incurred disproportionately long wait times in 2012 and that in-person voters who waited excessively in 2012 had a slightly lower probability—approximately one percent—of turning out to vote in 2016, ceteris paribus. These individuals also had slightly lower turnout probabilities in the 2014 Midterm Election, ceteris paribus. Our results draw attention to the ongoing importance of the administrative features of elections that influence the cost of voting and ultimately the extent to which voters are treated equally.

Student First-Time Voters’ Perception in Jakarta Toward Election System in Indonesia: Through Their Participation in Election

General elections are a common mechanism in the democratic political systems adopted by 237 geographies around the globe. Indonesia has been committed to implement the democracy since the first general election in 1955. In the system, first time voters hold a very important role (this demographic accounted for 5 million voters in the 2019 election). The majority of first-time voters are first-year college students. This educated group is not only often viewed as a role model for the larger peer group regarding participation in the political system, but also represents the nation’s future leaders, so that their participation in politics is vital to the future continuation of the political systems. This is the main reason for doing research in measuring perception and participation of first-time voters. Similar studies have already taken place, especially in Jakarta, but the main difference in this study relates to measuring the perception and participation using mix method with qualitative analysis in the end.

Inviting immigrants in: Field experiments in voter mobilization among immigrants in Norway

This paper reports on a randomized field experiment testing three direct mail mobilization appeals among immigrants in the 2015 Norwegian Local Elections. The three letters all included a general encouragement to vote in addition to practical information about voting. One paragraph was varied to present different mobilization messages. They were: 1) a message guaranteeing ballot secrecy. 2) a message with consistent prescriptive and descriptive norms emphasizing the importance of immigrant participation and that participation has been increasing. 3) a message with inconsistent prescriptive and descriptive norms emphasizing the importance of immigrant participation, but noting immigrant participation has been low.All three letters increased turnout among both first time voters and previously eligible voters. The effect is strongest, 5.8 percentage points, among those who were eligible to vote for the first time. Control group turnout was 20.9 percent. Among previously eligible immigrant voters there is an average treatment effect of 3.3 percentage point from a baseline of 40.2 percent turnout. In comparison to previous GOTV mail studies, these are very strong effects, far exceeding the typical response among low propensity voters. GOTV letters can therefore be an effective way to mobilize immigrant voters to participate in host country elections.

Never Forget the First Time: Youth Exposure to Corruption, Institutional Trust and Populist Voting

The paper studies the long term impact of corruption on trust towards institutions. Previous studies have demonstrated that exposure to corruption may lower institutional trust in the short run. Whether those short term effects translate into a persistent effect is not known. We study the onset of a corruption shock that took place in Italy between 1992 and 1994. Using recent data from the Trustlab project, coordinated by the OECD, we find that young first time voters exposed to the corruption scandal still today, 25 years later, exert significantly lower institutional trust. A follow up survey reveals that their exposure to corruption also affected their current voting preferences. In particular, those young first time voters exposed to the corruption were more likely to prefer populist parties at the 2018 national elections.

A follow up survey reveals that their exposure to corruption also affected their current voting behavior and political preferences. In particular, those young first time voters exposed to the corruption were more likely to vote for populist parties at the 2018 national elections and to have less favourable attitudes towards immigrants and refugees.

The research employs the focus group method. This method was chosen as it allows access to socially-constructed expressed views, opinions, experiences, and attitudes as the participants interpreted the advertisements messages and elements. Eighteen participants were identified to form three different groups representing the rural, semi-urban and urban first-time voters. The results show that there are many elements that were not acknowledged by the creators of advertisements and the political parties as to design and strategizing their campaign. There is a lack of effectiveness in persuading and communicating through advertisement, to the first time voters. Though political messages remain unpopular, but it plays a rather significant role in influencing the young voters' to vote in the coming election. Suggestions are made on transforming the political advertisements as to improve effectiveness in the coming Malaysian General Election.
