A healthy democracy fundamentally relies upon informed and engaged citizens. Yet, voter knowledge—the extent to which voters understand political processes, policies, and candidate positions—varies widely, shaping electoral outcomes and influencing democratic governance. This research project critically examines contemporary trends in voter knowledge, delving into political science theories, political behavior literature, and government and politics scholarship. Participants will conduct an extensive literature review, synthesizing insights from political theory, behavioral science, and empirical studies on voter information and misinformation. Key areas of exploration include the determinants of voter knowledge, the impact of media and information environments, demographic variations, and the relationship between voter knowledge, polarization, and political participation. Students will investigate critical questions, such as: How do changes in media consumption and social media usage influence voter knowledge and misinformation? What role do education, socioeconomic status, and geography play in shaping voter awareness? How does voter knowledge correlate with political efficacy, voter turnout, and democratic satisfaction? The project culminates in a policy memo with actionable recommendations for improving voter education or addressing misinformation. Students will target a specific audience, such as a school district or civic organization, and propose clear, evidence-based strategies supported by research.
