A Graphical Modeling Approach to Identify Cultural and Socio-Economic Factors Affecting Voting Abstention
摘要
Non-voting affects all types of electoral consultations, albeit with different intensities. The electoral abstention has become an emergency since citizen participation is fundamental to the legitimacy of the representative system and the proper functioning of a democracy. The aim of the paper is to identify by a graphical modeling approach which cultural and socio-economic factors may contribute to explain the non-vote rate in the 2022 parliamentary election.
