?:abstract
  • Do political preferences translate into behavior? I argue that when individuals support a stigmatized party, they have an incentive to hide that support. I start by theoretically discussing the meaning of political stigma. I define it as a situation in which individuals perceive that there are social norms against a political preference. I then show observational evidence of stigma leading to the falsification of political preferences. I study a Spanish region where voting was public in one election. Qualitative evidence suggests that voters felt their vote could be observed. Triple differences models show that this observability decreased voting for Partido Popular (PP), a stigmatized party in the country. At the individual level, PP supporters make more efforts to keep their vote choice secret. Those who make such efforts also show more discomfort answering political surveys. The results highlight social norms as predictors of political behavior and underline the consequences of changing voting procedures. (xsd:string)
