CAE Report: Students' election habits
Source: https://app.engxam.com/cae/writing/2/ .
Introduction
The
principal aim of this report is to present survey results of political science
class students regarding their voting practices.
Voter involvement and reasons
Ten out of
the thirty students surveyed claimed to abstain from voting due to their
personal beliefs about the local policy. The other twenty students actively participate
in elections, for they trust in the ability to influence the outcome of elections.
None of these students identified themselves as members of political parties.
As regards
the students’ preference for a certain policy, only five out of twenty claimed
to cast their votes according to their support for single issues, with green
policy being the primary issue of concern. The remaining fifteen voters base
their decisions on overall views of political parties, since this enables them
to analyze and evaluate a political candidate’s stance on different issues.
Sources of information
When asked
how they familiarize themselves with domestic issues and political candidates,
twenty-two out of the thirty students answered they normally access internet resources.
The daily feed of online newspaper ‘Politics Today’ ranks as the most visited website,
being the choice of thirteen students. The remaining eight students from the
class attend public hall meetings, where they hear political candidates pitching
on domestic issues and upcoming legislations.
Conclusion
To
summarize, 2/3 of the political science class show active participation in
elections. Half of the class judge and evaluate political candidates’ perspectives
on different societal issues. And the internet proves to be the main source of
information when it comes to keeping abreast of domestic issues and learning
about politicians.
