- Abstract: Political knowledge is crucial for the functioning of democracy: only informed citizens can cast a substantiated vote. Therefore, it is especially important that citizens are informed during election campaigns. Indeed, election campaigns can educate the public on the various parties and candidates. However, extant research mostly focuses on national election campaigns. Local election campaigns often get less (media) attention, yet have been seldom researched. In this paper we investigate whether citizens also learn during local election campaigns. We use panel data collected during the 2012 Antwerp local election campaign. We find that although the campaign did cause slight knowledge gains, it mainly increased the existing knowledge gap between well- and ill-informed citizens. On the other hand the campaign did amend some other gaps: uncertain voters learned more, and voters learned most about parties they evaluated highly. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
- Abstract: Politieke kennis is cruciaal voor de werking van een democratie: pas als kiezers geïnformeerd zijn, kunnen ze een onderbouwde stem uitbrengen. Zeker in verkiezingstijd is het van belang dat het publiek voldoende geïnformeerd wordt. Verkiezingscampagnes kunnen ervoor zorgen dat het publiek bijleert over de verschillende partijen en kcrndidaten; het bestaande onderzoek spitst zich echter vooral toe op nationale verkiezingscampagnes. Lokale verkiezingscampagnes, die het vaak met minder (media-)aandacht moeten doen, werden slechts sporadisch onderzocht. In deze bijdrage onderzoeken we of kiezers ook tijdens een lokale campagne iets bijleren. We gebruiken daarvoor paneldata die tijdens de Antwerpse gemeenteraadsverkiezingen van 2012 werden verzameld. Hoewel de campagne wel enige kennisstijging teweegbracht, blijkt ze vooral de kloof tussen goed en slecht geïnformeerde kiezers te vergroten. Anderzijds tonen de gegevens ook aan dat campagnes wel lacunes wegwerken: onzekere kiezers leerden meer bij, en kiezers leerden vooral bij over partijen die ze hoger evalueerden.
