englischThis book examines variations in voter turnout at the sub-national level during general elections. It employs a case study–mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data to provide in-depth evidence for three systematically selected constituencies with varying levels of voter turnout. Findings from the study challenge the adequacy of the strict application of rational choice theory in providing a comprehensive understanding of why voter turnout might vary. The book furthermore advances a framework, that is, individual and collective-level utilities, expanding on the concept of utility to account for variations in voter turnouts. The book’s conclusions highlight the importance of local contexts in shaping voter behaviour and emphasises the primacy of local political dynamics when studying voter behaviour. Moreover, the book enriches our understanding of voter behaviour on the African continent, underscoring the need to adopt a multi-dimensional lens for the study of African politics.
