Outsourcing political mobilization of voters: the analysis of outcomes of actions conducted in the ProGlas campaign for voter turnout for 2023 parliamentary elections

Abstract

Rad analizira aktivnosti kampanje ProGlas, vođene od 7. novembra do 14. decembra 2023. godine, kao deo predizbornih aktivnosti u funkciji povećanja izlaznosti. ProGlas se posmatra u radu kao deo izborne socijalizacije glasača kroz „Izađi i glasaj” kampanju. Autor zastupa tezu da je uspešna izborna socijalizacija ona koja stvara naviku izlaska na izbore, posebno kod birača koji nemaju dovoljno izbornog iskustva (mlađe generacije). U radu se pokazuje da je usled ad hoc karaktera kampanje koju je ProGlas vodio, umesto motivacije za izlaznost, uspešnost vezana za partijsku identifikaciju i ideološke unifikacije. ProGlas kampanja je delimično omogućila socijalizovanje birača u pravcu racionalizacije glasanja, tako da glasovi jednog ideološkog pola („građanske opozicije”) ne propadnu pri glasanju za opcije koje nemaju stvarne izglede za prelazak cenzusa.The paper analyzes the activities of the ProGlas campaign, conducted from November 7 to December 14, 2023, as part of pre-election efforts to increase voter turnout. ProGlas is con- ceptualized in the study as part of voter electoral socialization through the “Get out the vote” campaign. The author argues that successful electoral socialization is one that creates a habit of voting, especially among voters with insufficient electoral experience (younger gen- erations). The study demonstrates that due to the ad hoc nature of the ProGlas campaign, instead of motivating voter turnout, success is tied to party identification and ideological unification. The ProGlas campaign partially facilitated the socialization of voters towards the rationalization of voting, so that the votes of one ideological group (“civil opposition”) are not wasted by voting for options that have no real chance of crossing the threshold
