?:abstract
  • The political behaviour of the young generation has a big impact to the future of democracy. Previous research stated that young voters show a strong will to vote at elections (Torney-Purta et al. 2001, Renshon 1977). But nonetheless their turnout is among the lowest. In Germany especially the group of voters aged between 22 and 25 years had an even lower turnout than the first-time-voters. Considering that the first election has a strong influence on behaviour at the following elections, it is from greatest interest, why young people decided to vote or not to vote. Beside this it was already proven, that a different social status of voters also leads to different participation patterns and political preferences. Political identity forges a link between the conditions of living, the participation at elections and the political preferences (Kuhn et al. 2001). But political identity is less marked for young voters than for older ones. Also voting is less a responsibility for them as it is for the older population. Looking at factors (like political interest or voting systems) the paper seeks to identify factors which caused the low turnout of younger voters in different countries (Austria, Britain, Germany, US).
