During the 2016 general election, NextGen Climate conducted an experiment to assess whether peer-to-peer texting is effective at increasing voter turnout. NextGen Climate randomly assigned 94,257 individuals to receive a text message encouraging them to vote and 94,229 to a control group that received no outreach from NextGen Climate through Relay, the program they used for peer-to-peer texting. Individuals targeted were under 40 years old (average of 25) and had an average partisanship score of 81 (SE=15). The text messages were sent on November 5th, three days before Election Day. Overall, we find that 32.50% of the treatment group voted while 32.26% of the control group did. After adjusting for pre-treatment covariates, we find that the peer-to-peer text message increased turnout by 0.25 percentage points (p=0.20; SE=0.20).

Using Data

AbstractDuring the past decade the United States has seen an increase in alternative forms to Election Day voting, including voting by mail. Voting by mail has spurred a number of studies concerning the effects it has on voter turnout and other aspects of voting. However, one important facet of voting by mail has not been examined—when people decide to send in their vote. Because ballots are mailed out weeks before the election, voting by mail creates, in effect, a rolling Election Day. This could have profound effects for campaigns as candidates must determine when to use campaign resources and campaign to an electorate who might have already voted. Using data from the 2008 general election in Washington State, this study examines when voters turned in their ballots and determines if age, partisanship, or other factors play a role in the timing of turning in a ballot.

Some of the millennials are at university.  Therefore, it is necessary to know the role of universities in the 2019 general election. The research was conducted with statute approach, case approach, historical approach, comparative approach, and conceptual approach. From this research, it can be found that universities have sought to increase millennial voter participation in the 2019 general election by including material on elections in courses as well as conducting public lectures.

During the 2016 general election, NextGen Climate conducted a 1.2 million person experiment to assess whether online advertising increases voter turnout. Across New Hampshire, Nevada, and Pennsylvania, NextGen Climate randomly assigned 1,041,952 voters to receive GOTV online ads while the remaining 195,368 were randomly assigned to a control group. Overall, we find that the ads likely caused a small, marginally significant increase in voter turnout of 0.14 percentage points (p=0.15).

Malaysia is one of the countries that practicing democracy in shaping the country’s future. There is a total of 14 general elections held in Malaysia. The turnout rate of the 2013 general election, 84.8% is the highest record in Malaysia history. However, the actual participation rate is considered lower when voter turnout is compared to voting age population and the number of eligible voters. Thus, this study’s objective is to predict Malaysian turnout in the general election in Malaysia using classification tree algorithms. This dataset used in this study are the Asian Barometer Survey 2010 and 2014 dataset. The three selection decision tree algorithms used in this study are CHAID, CART, and C5.0. Among these three methods, CHAID perform the best to predict the Malaysian turnout in Malaysia’s general election.
