Paper Abstract:
|
Over the last decades, e-voting has been used in a large number of countries and its impact on voter turnout has been
closely scrutinized. Regardless, scholarly attention has largely focused on turnout in the domestic arena, and the link
between e-voting and external voting have been scarcely explored. Based on a quasi-experimental design of the 2021
Ecuadorian elections, we investigate the effect of both on-site electronic voting and Internet voting on non-resident
citizens' voter turnout. This paper shows that, while on-site electronic voting seems to have no significant impact on
turnout, turnout of non-resident citizens using Internet voting significantly increased as compared to prior elections and to
neighboring electoral districts. |
