“…One crucial component of measuring political participation is a clear concept of this phenomenon (e.g. Sairambay, 2020), which focuses on political institutions or their structures in the contemporary world and differentiates civic engagement from political participation. This differentiation might, for example, lead to sound arguments in a debate on 'clicktivism' versus 'mobilisation' theories, because in this case clicking links online would be counted as civic engagement that fosters political participation.…”

The multifaceted nature of political participation has led to various ways of measuring it. This, in turn, has led to conflicting outcomes (even when applied to the same problem) in the research field. What are the contemporary challenges of measuring political participation? The main objective of this paper is to identify current challenges of measuring political participation that are common in the existing literature and empirical findings. This review paper examines different methods of measuring both online and offline political participation and shows current problems that are crucial to deal with methodological challenges in the emerging era of Web 3.0. Drawing from a careful analysis of 86 published (2012–2019) empirical research on new media and political participation, the present study finds that self-reported measures, different question-wordings, misuse of Likert scales and time frames, and the lack of clear concept of political participation are current problems of measuring political participation. In so doing, it contributes to research on political participation (1) attempting to gather various measurements and their common problems as well as (2) urging the importance of these challenges.

“…(Meesuwan, 2016). Sairambay argues that online political action must be accepted as an integral part of political participation if it meets all the phenomenal criteria (Sairambay, 2020). In other words, political participation, whether using online voting rights or applying according to election needs, is very much needed in general election participation in the country.…”

Simultaneous general elections have a lousy tendency by several people but do not see a large future impact on national development planning in 2025–2045. The purpose of this article is to present a new perspective on viewing simultaneous general elections by linking national development planning as a future impact on public welfare. This research is qualitative by using a statute approach in comparing laws and regulations that change in each period of simultaneous general elections and synchronising laws and regulations with national development planning. The conceptual approach is the basis for the author to conceptualise the synchronisation of simultaneous general elections to national development planning in the RPJPN 2025–2045. The research results from this article show three outlines: First, the impact of simultaneous general elections results in harmony in the implementation of national development planning. Second, synchronising simultaneous general elections to national development planning eliminates the disparities between regions that occur in Indonesia. Third, the synchronisation results, as discussed, will produce a gradual welfare state in 2025–2045.

“…Throughout the literature on participatory behaviours, different conceptualizations exist to describe the ways in which citizens engage in community and political life. As pointed out by Theocharis and van Deth (2018a), lines between civic participation and related concepts have become blurred, and some scholars have called for conceptual clarification in the field (Ekman and Amnå, 2012; Sairambay, 2020; Talo and Mannarini, 2015). Therefore, the current paper follows the guidelines set out in the work of Theocharis and van Deth (2018a) and considers civic participation as voluntary citizen activities, with the aim of solving shared and collective problems.…”

PurposeFollowing the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), many forms of bottom-up civic action emerged as ways to collectively “flatten the curve” and tackle the crisis. In this paper, the authors examine to what extent local online and offline social integration contributes to civic participation, above and beyond typical predictors such as news consumption and civic talk.Design/methodology/approachAn online survey was administered among 7,137 users of the online neighbourhood network (ONN) Hoplr in Flanders (i.e. the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium) from 8 May to 18 May 2020. Regression analyses were used to examine how local social integration, in addition to news consumption, civic talk and political antecedents, predict different types of civic participation.FindingsThe results show consistent positive associations between news consumption, civic talk and civic participation during the COVID-19 pandemic. Moreover, the role of political antecedents varied across different forms of civic participation. Further, the results point to the importance of both offline and online local social integration in explaining civic participation.Originality/valueThis study provides much-needed insight in the societal and democratic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The results confirm the importance of local social integration in explaining civic participation, while also advancing theoretical understanding of more established predictors of civic participation, such as news consumption and interpersonal communication.Peer reviewThe peer review history for this article is available at https://publons.com/publon/10.1108/OIR-08-2020-0379.
