“…Both environments are characterized by a high intensity of messages. Admittedly, European Parliamentary elections are second-order elections (see Berhagen and Schmitt, 2014 in this special issue), but they are surely rich with opposing messages on several topics, among which the EU and immigration stand out as prominent issues.…”

Though the impact of deliberative polling on attitude change has received ample attention in the literature, micro models of attitude change before, during, and after deliberation are understudied. The relative strength of three competing views of the way attitudes change—the heuristics, systematic, and deliberative models—is assessed, using the quasi-experimental data of the EuroPolis deliberative project and comparing a group of people who participated in the deliberative poll with a control group. The results are: (1) in line with the systematic model, predispositions play a larger role than in the heuristics or deliberative models; (2) predispositions play a different role for participants and nonparticipants; (3) predispositions shape attitude formation in different ways depending on the issue at hand. On some issues the beliefs of participants change as a consequence of deliberation and become more complex and nuanced than before. This is, however, not the case for immigration issues where deliberation seems to strengthen predispositions.

“…A number of national deliberative polling events have occurred (Bernhagen and Schmitt 2014;Hansen and Anderson 2004) that have important implications for this study. The investigation organized has collected a highly representative sample together at a single setting.…”

This article describes the results from the use of deliberation in the classroom where a majority of students are working. The course included college students from Framingham State University. They discussed the issue of the economic impact of a big-box store. This analysis includes a study of the deliberative polling literature; research of the data on civic learning; an examination of the data comprising net changes in the participants' opinions and gross changes in the participants' opinions; and finally a discussion of the implications for engagement. The results illustrate that the process of deliberation affects changes in attitude items at both the individual and aggregate level.

“…Bawaslu's supervision related to updating voter data has hampered the preparation of a comprehensive voter list in the field because voters are the beginning of determining who has fulfilled the requirements as voters to exercise their voting rights (Schumpeter, 2003;Bernhagen et al, 2014). In the field, some do not care whether they are registered as voters because of a lack of understanding of election regulations related to the voter list, so they need to know if their rights to be registered as voters are violated and tend to be ignored.…”

Implementation Election Regent and Representative Regent Pekalongan It is the year 2020, which is one of the elections in Indonesia, which was held amid the Covid-19 Pandemic, experiencing enhanced political participation in society. Different from the most significant challenge during this implementation election common in the district of Pekalongan is the level of participation people tends to be low because of the condition of geography and topography different in the district Pekalongan. The results of this study conclude that first, with the high political participation of voters during the COVID-19 pandemic, the opportunity for people to come to the polling station is significant. However, the topography and geography of the region also have a significant influence because each region provides equal opportunities for voters to come to the polling station. Second, implementing the 2020 Pekalongan Regent and Deputy Regent Elections can be carried out safely and adequately with high voter political participation. High voter political participation was achieved by 77.75% and exceeded the national target. That is equal to 77.50%. So it is also higher than in the previous elections. The findings show that the local government of Pekalongan Regency is more innovative in increasing the political participation of its people.
