?:abstract
  • This study suggests that certain election administration arrangements can have a modest but significant impact on the probability of voting. Using data from Module 3 of the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems, supplemented by contextual data from the ACE Electoral Knowledge Network, I explore the effects of election timing and voter registration procedures on turnout in 30 democracies. I show that when voter registration is in the hands of an independent electoral management body, there is a greater likelihood of an individual voting. Contrary to conventional wisdom, election timing has little impact on the probability of voting. Weekend voting, polling hours, and the timing of the election during the year have no significant impact, even among young people, supposedly the beneficiaries of such arrangements. The results show the potential for certain election arrangements to stimulate turnout. They also reveal that facilitating voters by lessening voting costs is not a cure to the problem of growing abstention. These findings have implications for our understanding of voter turnout and the means by which declining electoral engagement is addressed. (xsd:string)
