Urbatsch, Ph.D., of Iowa State University, was recently published by the European Journal of Political Research.<\/p>\n<p>Emigrants\u2019 ideologies and partisan attitudes may diverge from other voters\u2019: overseas voters are ideologically self\u2010selected, receive distinctive information about campaigns and have experiences abroad that are likely to shape their political views. Parties, anticipating these emigrant attitudes, can manipulate overseas voting availability to give the vote primarily to their own supporters. Alternatively, parties may expect newly enfranchised voters to provide electoral support in gratitude for the right to vote.<\/p>\n<p>To distinguish these separate processes, this project undertakes a case study of Turkey to trace a ruling party&#8217;s strategic expectations as it makes overseas\u2010enfranchisement decisions. To see how general these results are, the study further extends to a statistical analysis of differences in vote choice between voters at home and abroad across all 23 European countries that report overseas votes separately, using an original data set encompassing 121 elections. Both the case study and the statistical analysis suggest that emigrant\u2010enfranchising parties tend to garner overseas voters\u2019 support in a lasting way. This suggests that overseas enfranchisement most often appears to involve incumbent parties (correctly) expecting long\u2010term ideological compatibility with their overseas nationals, not simply exchanging the franchise for short\u2010term, transactional support. <a href=\"https:\/\/ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/1475-6765.12357\">https:\/\/ejpr.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/abs\/10.1111\/1475-6765.12357<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cEuropean Ruling Parties\u2019 Electoral Strategies and Overseas Enfranchisement Policies\u201d, a study co-authored by Anca Turcu, Ph.D., and R.
