▼ Democratically choosing a single preference from three or more candidate options is not a straightforward matter. There are many competing ideas on how to aggregate rankings of candidates. However, the Gibbard-Satterthwaite theorem implies that no fair voting system (equality among voters and equality among candidates) is immune to strategic voting, also known as manipulation. This dissertation is a quantitative analysis of strategic voting from a geometric perspective. Anonymous voting rules, where all voters are equal, can be viewed as a partition of a high dimensional simplex, where different distributions of votes correspond to different points in the simplex, and each particular way of partitioning the simplex corresponds to a voting rule. It is revealed that the orientation, instead of the location, of the boundary determines manipulability. A boundary that separates two winning candidates is not manipulable if and only if the boundary is parallel to all vote changes that does not switch the order of the candidate pair. We analyze the vulnerability to strategic voting of several popular voting systems, including plurality, Borda count and Kemeny-Young, under various vote distributions. When there are three candidates, we show that the Kemeny-Young method, and Condorcet methods in general, are categorically more resistant to strategic voting than many other common voting systems, due to the existence of non-manipulable boundaries. We verify our results on voting data that we collected through an online survey on the 2012 US President Election. Finally, we explore the collective behaviors of manipulative voters. Assume every voter can change their vote for an infinite number of times. They formulate strategies based on their observations on the preference of the population. The observations, which contain noise, are generated by some distribution conditioned on the current vote status. We show that the plurality rule almost always elects the instant run-off winner, while Borda count almost always elects the Condorcet winner (when one exists) as the number of voters grow.

▼ Increasingly, transnational life has raised issues of overseas citizenship. I use the concept of political remittances to highlight long-distance entrepreneurship aimed at homeland politics. Emigrant demands have challenged states to institute transnational arenas. Comparing similar cases, however, a puzzle emerges in the varying openness of overseas voting (OV), especially in Latin America. Why does Mexico adopt restrictive rules, while the Dominican Republic implements open elections abroad? More generally, what makes a country choose to open, restrict or deny OV?This dissertation contributes the first systematic analysis of overseas voting. Economic remittances intensify transnational politics and put OV on the agenda in democracies, I argue, but state structure shapes the incentives to adopt open rules or not. Specifically, the foreign ministry and electoral commission form a crucial "overseas state" factor, their capacities and preferences guiding elite decisions via four mechanisms: fundraising controls, extraterritorial organization, domestic framing, and implementation. Controversial and contested, OV rules matter – influencing both form and extent of emigrant participation. Elections abroad differ from cultural activities or government programs. The rules determine the likely range of turnout.Whereas existing scholarship emphasizes either domestic politics or diaspora, the dissertation focuses upon transnational interactions of state, party and migrant actors. Its multimethods design classifies types of cross-border politics then quantitatively analyzes institutions across time and region. Case studies of two labor export democracies empirically ground the research, drawing on interviews with insiders and activists in national capitals and abroad. Paired case studies extend the analysis to East Asia, South Asia and western Africa.The research illuminates a growing trend of world politics and the factors that condition its impact. Its original theory shows accuracy across cases and relevance for theories of transnational relations and comparative institutions. It reveals a broader transformation of the nation-state, a snapshot of what globalization is – and is not. The reconfiguration of nations from territorial to global communities, with overlapping authority and membership, signals a paradigm shift. Concretely, the study finds that real material reorganization is incomplete, varied and ongoing.

▼ The purpose of this study is to identify and explore factors that affect the intentions of potential voters to participate in Internet voting systems in the U. S. at the local, state, and federal levels. These factors include voter characteristics as well as voter perceptions related to voting, government, and the use of online technologies. This empirical analysis is based on theories from technology adoption research and recent e-government models. The study uses constructs from diffusion of innovation, technology acceptance, technology quality of service, and web trust theories in a conceptual model to analyze the potential use of future Internet voting systems. An online survey is used to collect data from several hundred university students and is supplemented with focus group interviews. Multiple regression techniques are used for data analysis. Results indicate that higher levels of online experience and user perceptions of compatibility, relative advantage, trust in technology, and trust in government significantly affect the intention of potential voters to vote online. As an exploratory study, this research adds to the foundation of research involving online voting systems. The study explores perceptions and characteristics from a population of potential voters within a relatively narrow age range compared to the overall voting population. In spite of this limitation, the study extends e-voting research by including a variety of college students, and by considering Internet voting processes at the overall, local, state, and federal levels. The study contributes to the understanding of factors that influence the intentions of potential voters to use online voting. This can be useful for policy formulation, design, and implementation decisions about Internet voting systems as well as to identify ways to increase voter participation in a deliberative democracy. The study also relates to recent approaches in public management for improving the ways that government interacts with the citizenry.

▼ Voting enables certain formal decisions to be made through the participation of a given population; and it is the vital part of a democratic process. The method of voting used in South Africa (SA) today is derived from the Australian ballot system. This paper-based voting system, however, is slow, convoluted and inaccurate because of human errors; it is costly and largely inefficient. In the early 1900s, election officials overwhelmingly decided to use electronic voting (E-voting) systems to solve some of the problematic issues of paper-based voting systems. Mobile voting (M-voting) is a subset of E-voting; and it allows citizens to use their mobile phones to cast their votes. Very few countries have endeavoured to implement M-voting, in order to improve mobility and simplify the election procedures. Despite several M-voting initiatives reported worldwide; insufficient attention has been devoted to understanding the factors that influence the success or failure of M-voting implementation. It is also important to note that the implementation of M-voting may be very difficult; if the different modalities that aid successful M-voting implementation are not in place. This study seeks to develop a framework that has the potential to enable the successful implementation of M-voting in SA. The proposed framework is an IT artefact that endeavors to improve human experiences for voting. This study followed a Design-Science approach; and it made use of a case study to collect the data via a literature review, observations, questionnaires, focus groups and expert reviews. The study revealed that there is no institutional, legal and regulatory framework for the proliferation of M-voting in SA. Successful M-voting implementation depends on a compendium of factors, which may be unique in the local context where it is implemented. The framework that resulted from the above was assessed for validity and applicability; after which a modified framework was presented. The research concludes with specific implementation guidelines, as well as areas for future research.

▼ In this thesis we extend the study of strategic voting to two frameworks that are novel to the literature. First, by analysing a four-party competition with purely instrumentally motivated voters (Part I); second, by focusing on a three-party competition where voters have instrumental and expressive motivations (Part II). We aim to explore an existing gap in the literature and, in particular, to investigate the possibility of a voting equilibrium with partial strategic voting and its stability. The three sub-models studied in Part I (including essay 1) and the model in Part II (including essays 2, 3 and 4) focus on the case of large electorates and include public uncertainty. This distinguishes them from Cox (1997), where no real uncertainty exists as the electorate gets large, and Myatt (2006), which includes both public and private information. Essays 2 and 3 present and explore the theoretical framework and implications for the model chosen for Part II and essay 4 applies it to the 1997 UK General Election. From essay 1 we obtain the result that in a single-ballot simple-plurality election there is a tendency towards the Duvergerian equilibrium in a four-party model. Also, an equilibrium with partial strategic voting is never stable. From essays 2 and 3 three main results arise: a Duvergerian equilibrium is never possible; a stable equilibrium always exists; and more information leads to less strategic voting – contrary to Myatt (2006). Both the impossibility of any Duvergerian equilibrium and the possibility of a stable interior equilibrium in multiple cases are central to our theory of voting that includes an expressiveness component. The simulations in essay 4 suggest that a very low level of expressiveness is needed to obtain a level of strategic voting compatible with the findings in Fisher (2004). The theory predicts the impossibility of some constituency results that are in fact frequently observed in British elections. Cox (1997), Making Votes Count. Cambridge, Cambridge University Press.

▼ An election is a core part of any global democracy. Elections provide citizens with the opportunity to voice their opinions. South Africa achieved democracy for the first time in 1994 and has had four successful national elections since then. All of these elections have been declared “free and fair” according to the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). However, there have been various challenges facing the current South African electoral process. This research, therefore examines alternative methods to improve the current South African electoral process. This research firstly identifies the various challenges and characteristics associated with the current electoral process in South Africa. This research study proposes, to incorporate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the South African electoral process. Thus, arguing that utilizing ICT could potentially improve the process. Various countries worldwide have investigated different methods to improve their electoral processes. Countries such as India, Brazil, Estonia and the USA have incorporated ICT into their electoral processes, known as electronic voting (e-voting). Therefore, this research study investigates countries such as India, Brazil, Estonia and the USA which opted to implement e-voting into their electoral process. In addition, various e-voting technologies and their capabilities are explored in detail in this research study. The conclusions drawn from the examination of the electoral processes of countries that utilize e-voting, contributed to the achievement of the primary objective in this research. As a result, to address the various challenges facing the current electoral process in South Africa, a process model was developed called an E-voting Process Model, which depicts two electoral processes namely, an optical scan polling station voting process and an online voting process. This research argues that the E-voting Process Model could potentially improve the current electoral process in South Africa Advisors/Committee Members: Thomson, Kerry-Lynn Dr, Van Greunen, Darelle Prof.

▼ This dissertation aims to investigate the origins of Internet voting, analyze several deployments of Internet voting technology in Austria and identify - based on these accumulated experiences - building blocks that can be useful in decision-making on and planning of future uses of Internet voting technology within Austria and throughout the world. In line with the goals of this thesis, it will address the following research questions: - How did Internet voting originate? - What experiences were noted in the process of implementing Internet voting in Austria? - What building blocks can be identified for developing future Internet voting both inside and outside Austria? Internet voting is part of a transformational movement that applies information and communication technologies to daily business activities. It is only logical that elections are also considered for applying electronic (remote) communication technologies. While early efforts were driven by the belief that elections could make easy use of the Internet, it was shown that while the principles have to be interpreted and consequently applied in a different way, the same principles can still be derived for Internet voting, like integrity, secrecy, transparency, accountability and public confidence. The need to have forms of decision making in electronic networks has been identified in its beginnings and has received continuous attention throughout its development. At the height of the excitement about the possibilities of the Internet, countries raced to become the first to run a legally binding election using electronic voting systems. While several candidates emerged (e.g., Costa Rica, Bosnia Herzegovina, Germany, United States), Estonia was victorious in 2005. To date, Estonia is the only country that has introduced this form of voting without any preconditions or other limitations. In Austria, the intentions to use information and communication technologies (ICT) in elections concentrated on parliamentary affairs. Spurred by the efforts around student elections in Germany, Austria sought to conduct Internet voting in 2000. In the years thereafter, considerable progress was made at WU Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), and this progress spearheaded the debate in the early 2000s. At the beginning in the years 2001-2003, technical solutions were sought to verify voter eligibility and maintain voter privacy. Later, more sophisticated algorithms were developed, and functionalities like quotas in election commissions were added. The Federation of Students' elections in 2009 were a remarkable event that demonstrated highly contentious political debate around the topic. This debate continued after the elections, which were held in May 2009 and suffered from the intense debate and protests and consequential organizational shortcomings. The experiences also showed that accurate legal regulations are needed to show interaction with the constitutional legal texts and to ensure accountability to a remote electronic voting channel through legal means.…
