BEDOYA MARULANDA, John Fredy; ESCOBAR ESCOBAR, Juan Carlos; SANCHEZ PARRA, Aura e NIETO PALACIO, Felipe. Electoral Behavior Studies. What Explains the Turnout? State of the Art. Estud. Polit. [online]. 2019, n.54, pp.177-198. ISSN 0121-5167. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.espo.n54a09.
This article presents a balance of the studies that analyze the electoral participation, grouping the dimensions under which the subject has been studied and the empirical evidences that sustain them. The work is based on a comprehensive understanding of the object of study that allows to show its complexity. The study focuses on accounting for the interaction between the different variables and on revealing their explanatory mechanisms. This implies a separation from conventional analyzes that focus on the predictive capacity and the statistical significance of the variables. Thus, the article concludes that it is not enough to address electoral behavior from a set of separate factors, and highlights the importance of the confluence between the micro and macro variables when it comes to understanding the turnout of voters.
