    The impact of social media use on voter turnout and voting mode preferences: analysis of Estonian Parliament elections in 2019 and 2023

    This thesis examines the influence of social media exposure on voter turnout and voting mode preferences during the 2019 and 2023 Estonian Parliament elections. Employing cross-sectional post-election survey data, the study evaluates how exposure to political content on social media platforms correlates with voter participation and the choice of voting methods, particularly Internet voting. The research employs multinomial and logistic regression analysis to ascertain the extent to which social media exposure fosters electoral participation and influences decisions to vote online rather than at traditional polling stations. Findings suggest that social media exposure can affect voter turnout numbers. Moreover, this study provides little evidence that this influence depends on the age of the voting-age population. The analysis of social media’s impact on voting mode preferences shows that social media exposure plays a marginal role in voters’ choice of voting mode regardless of their party affiliation. These results indicate that social media has a moderate effect on voting behaviour in Estonia. However, more research is needed to ensure the generalisability of the results.

    Introduction of an e-voting system in Azerbaijan: readiness of citizens and government
    (Tartu Ülikool, 2025) Gojazade, Parvin; Mölder, Martin, juhendaja; Tartu Ülikool. Sotsiaalteaduste valdkond; Tartu Ülikool. Johan Skytte poliitikauuringute instituut
    Citizen-centric public services are currently a popular subject of discussion. E-voting services are increasingly popular. However, academic research has given relatively little attention to this phenomenon due to its recent emergence in Azerbaijan. The issue of citizens' and government readiness to accept such services remains unexplored in Azerbaijan. Government and citizens' acceptance is crucial for the successful implementation of personalized public service provision. This thesis investigates government and citizens' readiness for e-voting services. This study seeks to establish the preparedness of government and citizens for e-voting services and determine the primary factors that affect it. The author queries whether Azerbaijan's citizens and government are prepared for the implementation of an electronic voting system. When it comes to the readiness of Azerbaijani citizens for electronic voting, it is approached from the perspective of their level of technological readiness and trust in electronic services. In the context of the Azerbaijani government's readiness, legal, political, and IT infrastructure readiness issues were considered. A comprehensive analysis of literature on technology, politics, legal, social, infrastructure preparedness was conducted. The author employed a qualitative research method by administering interviews to collect data. The interviews yielded valuable insights towards achieving the objective of the master thesis and addressing the research question. Based on the analysis conducted on the basis of the research work, it was determined that the citizens and the government of Azerbaijan are partially ready for electronic voting. There is a need for a more thorough analysis of the readiness of Azerbaijani citizens for the social perspective. There is also a problem with the readiness of the government in the political context and serious reforms are needed in this area.
