ABSTRACT This study investigates the effects of exposure to political candidates’ tweets on vote choice in the context of the 2018 local election in South Korea. A field experiment was conducted among the Twitter users of two constituencies, Seoul and Kyonggi-do. Participants in the experimental group were guided on Twitter to follow a leading candidate in their electoral district. The results show that following a candidate on Twitter was positively linked to voting for the candidate through candidate likability in Kyonggi-do. On the other hand, following a candidate on Twitter was negatively linked to voting for the candidate in Seoul.
