本研究利用英国一级和二级选举的数据，探讨了竞选可见度促进选举参与的程度。我们对现有文献的贡献有三个方面。首先，我们评估了竞选努力的效果是否受到边缘性的制约，发现无论竞选竞争如何，竞选动员都能获得选票。其次，我们考察了不同竞选活动刺激投票率的相对能力，发现了显著差异。第三，我们表明竞选努力对选举参与的影响在一级和二级选举中相当相似。这些发现表明，竞选活动提供的更多选举信息确实降低了投票成本。在边缘和非边缘竞选中，以及在大选和二级选举中，地方竞选活动在吸引选民到投票站投票方面发挥着关键作用。
This study explores the extent to which campaign visibility facilitates electoral participation, using data from first- and second-order elections in Britain. Our contribution to the existing literature is threefold. First, we assess whether the effects of campaign effort are conditioned by marginality, finding that campaign mobilization gets out the vote regardless of the competitiveness of the race. Second, we look at the relative ability of different campaign activities to stimulate turnout, detecting significant differences. Third, we show that the effects of campaign effort on electoral participation are rather similar in first- and second-order elections. These findings suggest that a greater level of electoral information provided by campaign activities does reduce the cost of voting. Local campaigns play a key role in bringing voters to the polls in marginal and non-marginal races and at general elections as much as at second-order elections.
