Abstract

The study is devoted to strategic coordination represented as a list of “smart voting” candidates for single-member districts at the State Duma election on September 19, 2021. There is a great deal of skepticism in the literature that patterns of strategic voting can be found nationwide in Russia because of the prevalence of the personal vote in ticket splitting. The analysis of the election has confirmed that the effect of “smart voting” is rather small in contrast to the personal vote. Therefore, the attempt of the Russian non-systemic opposition to coordinate electorates strategically has not yet been an effective tool to mobilize voters on a country-wide scale. The study has also revealed strong counterbalances to “smart voting” like the incumbency advantage of United Russia’s nominees and the spoiler effect produced by candidates from the spoiler parties like the Communists of Russia and Party of Pensioners.
2021年俄罗斯立法选举中的战略协调:影响与制衡
该研究致力于战略协调,如2021年9月19日国家杜马选举中单一成员区的“智能投票”候选人名单。文献中有很多人怀疑,由于个人投票在分票中的普遍性,俄罗斯全国范围内都可以找到战略投票模式。对选举的分析证实,与个人投票相比,“智能投票”的效果相当小。因此,俄罗斯非系统性反对派试图从战略上协调选民,尚未成为在全国范围内动员选民的有效工具。该研究还揭示了对“聪明投票”的有力制衡,如统一俄罗斯党提名人的在职优势,以及俄罗斯共产党和养老金领取者党等搅局党候选人产生的搅局效应。
