Description

  • Abstract

    The data presented in the accompanying files were collected through the Voting Advice Application (VAA) Choose4Greece (www.choose4greece.com), which was designed for the January and September 2015 parliamentary elections in Greece. VAAs are contemporary technological solutions that aim to lower the cost of information that citizens face during elections. They do so primarily by comparing the positions of voters to the positions of candidates or political parties on a set of relevant policy issues and informing voters about how well their preferences match with those of the parties or candidates. This dataset contains user responses of the online survey as well as the associated positions of political parties.
