We investigate generalizations of the voter model in which the flip rates are a nonlinear function of the number of neighbors with a different opinion. These new models exhibit a wide variety of limiting behavior from clustering to ergodicity.

Most analytical work in public choice is based upon relatively simple models of majority decision making. These models are widely used even though the researchers know that real political settings are more complex than the models seem to imply. The use of such simple models can be defended for a variety of reasons: First, simple models allow knowledge ...

Abstract This article reports on a test of a predictive model of voter behavior in Slovenia. The study is based on Slovenian parliamentary elections held on 15 October 2000. A survey was made in an electoral unit (“Vrhnika”). This is one of the tests that were simultaneously done in three countries-Poland, the US and Slovenia.

A Model of Primary Voter Behavior
Journal of Consumer Research, 1985This article develops and tests a model of voter behavior in a primary election. The model integrates several schools of thought that have tried to explain voter behavior; it is tested by predicting the behavior of respondents based on the model, and then validating the results with the actual behavior of the respondents.

The voter model is the spin system with rates c(x,η) given by $$ c(x,\eta ) = \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\sum\limits_y {p(x,y)\eta (y)} } & {if{\text{ }}\eta (x) = 0,} \\ {\sum\limits_y {p(x,y)[1 - \eta (y)]} } & {f{\text{ }}\eta (x) = 1,} \\ \end{array} } \right.

Modeling Problems in the Voter Identification—Voter Turnout Debate
Election Law Journal: Rules, Politics, and Policy, 200985 IN APRIL 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld Indiana’s controversial voter identification (ID) law. Adopted in 2005, the law requires voters to show a current, government-issued photo identification. Opponents worry voter identification rules will place an undue burden on the voting rights of elderly, low income, and minority voters, disputing the ...

As in the Wright–Fisher and Moran models, the two configurations in which all the individuals have the same type or share the same opinion are absorbing states for the voter model. However, at least starting with infinitely many individuals of each type, the time to fixation to one of these absorbing states is almost surely infinite, which allows for ...

Inhomogeneous Voter Models in One Dimension
Journal of Theoretical Probability, 2003The paper investigates spatially inhomogeneous, one-dimensional voter models and establishes conditions for survival and extinction. First, it is shown that increasing the flip rates at a finite number of sites typically does not affect survival, unless the flip mechanism is altered.

When there is only the voter in the voting booth in front of the ballot, what is he thinking? His interests? Or his fears? Gestures or words to any of the candidates? How orient the voter in the maze of offers and candidates? Is the choice you make entirely rational? Or does it include trace elements, feelings, likes and dislikes, fears, hopes?
