Data-driven feature by DIVERGENTE in collaboration with DINÂMIA’CET-Iscte and EDJNet that analyses the demographics and socioeconomic profiles of non-voters across the 27 EU member states.
Increasing numbers of Europeans choose not to vote: a quarter don’t participate in any type of election and nearly half don’t vote for representatives of the European Parliament. The non-voter time bomb is a data-driven journalism feature that profiles voter abstention across the European Union (EU) over the last 50 years and analyses it according to different demographic and socioeconomic indicators for each of the 27 member states.
Do people vote less in countries with higher levels of inequality? Do university studies influence people’s voting record? Is abstention lower in places where salaries are higher? These are some of the questions this feature answers.
"The non-voter time bomb" is a data-driven feature coordinated by DIVERGENTE, with methodological support and editing from DINÂMIA’CET- Iscte researchers.
