- Summary:
- Over 100 different explanatory factors have been linked to an individual's decision to vote or abstain: ranging from individual characteristics like education, age and political interest, to socialization by friends and parents, to characteristics of the election-like political competition, and many more. Slowly, but surely, it has become difficult to see the wood for the trees. In the research project described in this article, they carried out a meta-analysis of 90 empirical studies of individual-level voter turnout in national elections between 2000 and 2010.
