Abstract Studies have documented how ethnic and religious sentiments shape the voting behavior of Indonesian Muslims. However, to date no studies have carefully measured the relative influence of these sentiments. I fill this gap in the literature by taking advantage of the candidacy of a Christian, ethnic Chinese candidate in the 2017 Jakarta gubernatorial election in Basuki Tjahaja Purnama (Ahok). Employing an original survey of Jakartan Muslims, I show through experimental and correlational analyses that Muslim voters are more opposed to Ahok than non-Muslim voters are and that this opposition is driven more by Ahok's ethnicity, as opposed to his religion. I also show that Muslim voters’ feelings toward ethnic Chinese shape their support for Ahok more than their feelings toward Christians. I discuss how these findings inform our understanding of the limits and extent of religious influence on Muslim voting behavior.

A 2011 earthquake damaged the Fukushima nuclear reactor and provided a galvanising point for anti-nuclear resistance groups in Japan. Their public cause slowly faded from the political arena after the Democratic Party of Japan fell out of power and anti-nuclear politicians lost the 2014 Tokyo gubernatorial election. The current Liberal Democratic Party Prime Minister Abe holds a pro-nuclear position and urges the reactivation of Japan's nuclear reactors after all safeguards have been satisfied.

The selection of the 2017 DKI Jakarta governor was attended by 3 candidates, including the pair Agus Harimurti - Sylviana Murni, the pair Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat and the couple Anies Baswedan - Sandiaga Uno. Basuki Tjahaj Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat is a pair of incumbent governors who again competed in this gubernatorial election. The researcher focused on research to find out how the strategy used by the incumbent governor pair in facing the 2017 DKI Jakarta gubernatorial election. In this case, the author uses the Constructivist paradigm, namely, the truth of a social reality seen as a result of social construction, and the truth of a social reality is relative. The type of research used is descriptive, which describes a social situation as it is by using a qualitative descriptive analysis method. Based on this research regarding the campaign strategy of Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat in facing the gubernatorial election, the researchers concluded that the pair Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat possessed and re-demonstrated the real program that was directly felt by the community and also maximized the entire media to socialize their upcoming programs. Pemilihan gubernur DKI Jakarta 2017 diikuti oleh 3 pasangan calon antara lain pasangan Agus Harimurti – Sylviana Murni, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama – Djarot Saiful Hidayat dan Anies Baswedan – Sandiaga Uno. Pasangan Basuki Tjahaj Purnama – Djarot Saiful Hidayat adalah pasangan gubernur petahana yang kembali bersaing dalam pemilihan gubernur ini. Peneliti memfokuskan penelitian untuk mengetahui bagaimana strategi yang digunakan oleh pasangan gubernur petahana dalam menghadapi pemilihan gubernur DKI Jakarta 2017 ini. Dalam hal ini, penulis menggunakan paradigma Konstruktivis yaitu,  kebenaran suatu realitas sosial dilihat sebagai hasil konstruksi sosial, dan kebenaran suatu realitas sosial bersifat relatif.  Tipe penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian yaitu deskriptif, yang menggambarkan suatu keadaan sosial secara apa adanya dengan menggunakan metode analisis deskriptif kualitatif. Berdasarkan penelitian ini mengenai strategi kampanye Basuki Tjahaja Purnama – Djarot Saiful Hidayat dalam menghadapi pemilihan gubernur, maka peneliti membuat kesimpulan bahwa pasangan Basuki Tjahaja Purnama - Djarot Saiful Hidayat memiliki dan menunjukkan kembali program nyata yang sudah dirasakan langsung oleh masyarakat dan juga pasangan ini memaksimalkan seluruh media untuk mensosialisasikan program mereka yang akan datang.

Thailand’s Prayut will push through obstacles

Significance Prayut had the second-fewest votes cast for him and the most against him. The opposition probably did not expect to succeed with its censure motion, given the government’s comfortable house majority, but used the related debate to air discontent over matters such as the administration’s handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Impacts Next month’s reopening of certain parts of the country to international tourism should help support economic recovery. The upcoming Bangkok gubernatorial election will provide a fresh opportunity for the opposition to mobilise. Prayut will allow parliament to press on with plans to amend the constitution but frustrate attempts at substantive change.

Electoral Competitiveness

ABSTRACT Considerable media attention was given to the so-called “pivot counties” in the U.S. and in Michigan that flipped from supporting Barack Obama twice to voting for Donald Trump in 2016. We first summarize theories of voting behavior and speculate about why Michigan has been consistently competitive over the years. We explore 40 years' worth of county-level presidential and gubernatorial election results in Michigan to determine how frequently counties have flipped across a large number of elections. We find that a number of Michigan counties frequently flip between elections, but the number of competitive Michigan counties has substantially declined in recent decades. Turnout in larger counties can affect election outcomes, and large counties that swing have been key bellwethers in past elections, and should be a major focus of research on future elections in Michigan.
