Over the last two decades, Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) have spread throughout Europe and beyond. By allowing voters to compare their preferences with those of parties and candidates running for an election over a range of policy issues on a single online platform, they reduce the costs to voters associated with the gathering and processing of electoral information. Often provided by civic education agencies or academics and generally benefitting from wide media coverage, these tools have by now become a vital part of online election campaigns worldwide, being used by dozens of millions of voters. This international workshop will take stock of existing research in the field and present innovative avenues for interdisciplinary and comparative work.
the University of Luxembourg‘s PLDP – Luxembourg’s platform of participatory democracy, the LISER’s Living Conditions Department, and the ZpB – Zentrum fir Politesch Bildung are organizing a two-day workshop on “Voting Advice Applications (VAAs), between academic research and societal impact”.
