The document discusses three main models of voting behavior:
1. The sociological model views group characteristics like socioeconomic status, religion, and location as determining voter preferences.
2. The social-psychological model focuses on individual attitudes rather than group attributes. Voters make choices based on prospective voting on issues or retrospective voting on performance.
3. The rational choice model sees voters as rational actors who vote when personal expected benefits of voting outweigh the costs of becoming informed. However, this model does not perfectly match real-world behavior.
Consider the following:
3 main models of Voting Behaviour
Sociological
Party Identification
Issue voting
Class & Partisan Dealignment
Long Term & Short Term Factors

Counter to intent: Voters' mental models of alternative counting methodsDana Chisnell
Here I talk about some preliminary findings from exploratory research about whether voters encounter problems using ballots that include contests that are counted in non-traditional ways.
Surveys are still really popular as a research method with colleagues (if not with service designers).
These slides are from a workshop at the 2021 Service Design in Government conference (@sdingov21) on 'how to improve the survey that is going to happen whether you like it or not'.
In the workshop we looked at a 7-step process for a survey and considered ways of encouraging colleagues to combine surveys with other research methods.
We also practiced techniques for looking at – and improving - a questionnaire.
The keynote - 'Close encounters of the Digital kind', elaborates on making surveys popular in emerging markets and segments through innovative mobile research methods-Webcam, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger using the technological framework to seamlessly combine multiple data sources like Emerging technologies, emerging media to generate actionable insights.

Surveys that work: an introduction to the Survey Octopus and Total Survey ErrorCaroline Jarrett
A presentation for Harvard University's User Research Community on some of the key issues in creating effective surveys, including: why run a survey, writing good questions, statistical significance and how to avoid errors.
Slide show prepared for a series of lectures on voting and elections for PS 101 American Government at the University of Kentucky, Fall 2007. Dr. Christopher S. Rice, Lecturer.
Using multiple sample providers to recruit respondents into a single survey, is becoming a necessity for large research agencies and panel companies alike, but challenges are attached to the practice
Many of us receive multiple requests to complete surveys every day. Some of us find that colleagues or clients think of ‘doing a survey’ as the same as ‘doing some research’ – which may explain why organizations send out so many survey requests.
In this webinar, you’ll meet the Survey Octopus, Caroline Jarrett’s friendly way of talking about the many issues that make surveys one of the most challenging research methods.
The Survey Octopus will help you to:
Explain to colleagues that a survey may not be the first research method to try
Help to justify a choice to work with a “non significant” number of responses
Think about the steps that go into delivering a survey that works
As a bonus, Caroline will also explain how her Survey Octopus maps into the Total Survey Error concept that underpins the work of many survey methodologists.

Surveys that work: a webinar for FocusVision 2021Caroline Jarrett
Creating surveys that work for participants and deliver high quality insight is no mean feat. This is because the survey process is complex, with multiple considerations at every step in the journey.
In this webinar for FocusVision, I introduce the Survey Octopus, my friendly way of talking about the many issues that make surveys one of the most challenging research methods. I also explain how the Survey Octopus maps into the Total Survey Error concept that underpins the work of many survey methodologists.
The Survey Octopus will help you design better surveys by thoughtfully considering:
• What you want to ask about
• Who you want to ask
• The number of people you need to ask

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

Welcome to the new Mizzima Weekly !
Mizzima Media Group is pleased to announce the relaunch of Mizzima Weekly. Mizzima is dedicated to helping our readers and viewers keep up to date on the latest developments in Myanmar and related to Myanmar by offering analysis and insight into the subjects that matter. Our websites and our social media channels provide readers and viewers with up-to-the-minute and up-to-date news, which we don’t necessarily need to replicate in our Mizzima Weekly magazine. But where we see a gap is in providing more analysis, insight and in-depth coverage of Myanmar, that is of particular interest to a range of readers.
10. Where You
Live (cc) 2005 flickr user archibald jude
11. Who Votes?
Higher incomes.
Very young unlikely to vote.
Unemployed have a very low rate of
turnout.
Latinos have especially low turnout
rate, but it is increasing.
More educated more likely to vote.
44. PROBLEMS
• Theory a poor match with reality
• Can lead to errors: non-optimal decisions vs. “reasonable”
• Information can make a difference
• Rational for individuals to be uninformed, but
collectively it’s irrational.
• Ignores costs at the collective level
• More informed public = more accountable elites
• Uninformed public susceptible to manipulation.
