「Electronic voting in Japan. What can we learn from the European and Latin American experiences?」(10月18日)
スーパーグローバル大学創成支援実証政治経済学拠点と早稲田大学高等研究所では、2022年10月18日にサン・フランシスコ・デ・キト大学のRégis Dandoy教授をお迎えし、「Electronic voting in Japan. What can we learn from the European and Latin American experiences?」と題して電子投票に関する研究セミナーを開催いたします。是非ご参加ください。
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.
