Voting Aid Applications and the Effect of Statement Selection. Walgrave, S., Nuytemans, M., & Pepermans, K. West European Politics, 32(6):1161–1180, November, 2009. Publisher: RoutledgePaper doi abstract bibtex Voting Aid Applications (VAA) helping voters make their decision at the ballots have become more popular throughout Western Europe. They typically consist of a number of statements that are used to match voters with parties. Drawing on a large-scale simulation of 500,000 different configurations of 36 statements and on a random sample of Belgian voters, the paper shows that many of these combinations produce diverging information for the participants. The study establishes that the specific selection of statements has a considerable impact on the ‘voting advice’ that is produced: some configurations favour certain parties, other configurations benefit other parties.
