講演概要
Political scientists recognize that the design of ballots can influence voting behavior, but they do not have sufficient knowledge of the impact on voters of using machines rather than paper. Electronic voting at the polls remains limited to a few countries (mainly Belgium, Brazil, India, and the United States) and often remains peripheral (e.g., Canada, France, Japan, and Peru). Most previous studies have focused on specific countries or elections, and comparative studies are very few. This seminar aims at contributing to a new understanding of the impact of electronic voting on voter behavior by delving into the Japanese case and comparing it with other cases.
In Japan, about a dozen municipalities have implemented e-voting during more than a decade. However, there is a lack of a comprehensive analysis of all e-voting in Japan from a political science perspective. More importantly, it has never been systematically compared with other countries that employ exactly the same type of electronic voting machines as Japan. Based on a quantitative analysis of all elections that have adopted electronic voting in Japan since 2002, this seminar assesses the impact of e-voting on voting behavior (compared to paper-based voting). In addition, Japan’s experience with electronic voting will be compared with that of other countries that have adopted similar electronic voting technologies. This seminar will discuss whether electronic voting has a similar impact on voting behavior in Japan and in other countries.
