摘要

摘要在本文中，我们研究了在韩国的背景下，随机选票排序和同时选举的结合如何增加无效选票。在韩国，无党派教育总监的选举与其他党派选举同时举行。无党派教育总监选举中候选人的投票顺序是随机和轮换的，而其他党派选举的投票顺序则是根据每个政党在国家立法机构中的席位数量确定的。在这项研究中，我们发现候选人的党派偏好与其投票立场之间的匹配会减少无效选票。我们的研究结果表明，在同时举行的选举中，将两种不同的投票顺序方案结合起来可能会混淆选民，并增加无效选票。

Misleading Ballot Positions and Invalid Votes

Abstract In this paper, we study how a combination of random ballot ordering and concurrent elections can increase invalid votes in the context of South Korea. In South Korea, elections for the nonpartisan superintendent of education are held concurrently with other partisan races. Whereas the ballot order for candidates in the nonpartisan superintendent of education elections is randomized and rotated, this order for other partisan races is determined according to the number of seats each party has in the national legislature. In this study, we found that a match between candidates’ partisan preferences and their ballot positions decreases invalid votes. Our findings suggest that combining two different ballot-order schemes for concurrently held elections can confuse voters and increase invalid votes.
