Fondecyt Project 'Rational voters, socioeconomic resources and behavioral inertia: A multicausal approach to electoral participation in Chile'

The main objective of this project is to study the determinants and consequences of electoral participation in elections related to the process of constitutional change underway in Chile. For this, two panel surveys were carried out with a pre/post electoral design. The first survey (Study 1) is a five-wave panel survey that interviewed respondents aged between 18 and 65 years old before and after the May 2021 Constitutional Conventional election, and the November 2021 presidential election. The final, and fifth wave, was applied after the second round of the presidential election held on December 21, 2021. The second survey (Study 2) employed a two-wave panel survey with a pre-post design. The first wave of the survey was applied between August 30 and September 2 of 2022 before the Constitutional Plebiscite (held on September 4), while to a sample of respondents aged between 18 and 65 years old. The post-election survey was carried out between September 12 and 19.
