What is DeVOTE?

DeVOTE is a research project funded by the European Research Council (ERC) from January 2021 to December 2025 and led by Ass.-Prof. Carolina Plescia. The project is hosted by the Department of Government at the University of Vienna.

The central aims of DeVOTE are:

Picture2to understand what ‘voting’ means for ordinary citizens;


Picture3to examine the variation of 'voting' meanings across individuals and across countries;


Picture4to study how elections create and modify these 'voting' meanings;


Picture5to investigate the consequences of 'voting' meanings for citizens' preferences, attitudes and their political behaviours;


Picture7to devise an election 'observatory' for systematic data collection on the meanings of voting on Election Day that can favour the scientific interpretation of election outcomes.
