Technological Opportunities to Improve Turnout in EP Elections Making the case for a Transnational Voting Advice Application (V.A.A.) Diego Garzia University of Lucerne / European University Institute EP-EUI Policy Dialogue October 18th, 2018

Voting Advice Applications VAAs are non-partisan online tools developed by NGOs, Universities and/or Media Outlets VAAs help users casting a vote by comparing their policy preferences with those of political parties

What is euandi? EU28 24 languages 121 experts in the country teams 242 political parties 30 statements (28+2) 7260 coded and documented party positions IN COLLABORATION WITH THE PARTIES

The VAA compares the user’s profile with that of each party, and through a matching algorithm provides a “voting advice” to users

Results from the 2016 VAA Census Source: Voting Advice Applications Research Network http://www.vaa-research.net

Diffusion: Users

Diffusion: Users

% of users among the voting population Source: Respective National Election Studies

Impact on (many) users Information costs Political interest Political knowledge Political participation (mirror function)

VAAs as a source of political information Source: Finnish National Election Study, 2015

VAAs and Electoral Participation Civic voluntarism model: Information and knowledge as pre-conditions for electoral participation Low information rationality: Individuals’ probability to cast a vote is inversely proportional to the effort involved in getting informed VAA-Research: VAAs provide cheap information and increase interest in and knowledge of political matters The Mechanism: Reduction of the representative deficit (MIRROR FUNCTION)

Turnout (increase in predicted probabilities, individual level) Impact on users: Turnout (increase in predicted probabilities, individual level) Analysis of respective National Election Studies Adapted from: Garzia, Trechsel & De Angelis (2017) in Political Communication

Turnout (impact on overall turnout rate in % points, aggregate level) Impact on users: Turnout (impact on overall turnout rate in % points, aggregate level) Analysis of respective National Election Studies Adapted from: Garzia, Trechsel & De Angelis (2017) in Political Communication
