"In Mixed Member Proportional systems, voters are able to split their vote. To what
extent do voters use this opportunity, which voters seem to use this opportunity
most and what are the potential consequences of split ticket voting? These
questions are answered by comparatively analyzing motives for split ticket voting
and factors that facilitate such behavior and apply them to the Dutch situation.
Moreover, we employ various simulations based on the last three parliamentary
elections in order to assess the potential consequences of split ticket voting under
different electoral system proposals. In general, these results indicate that split
ticket voting will not have substantial effects on the distribution of seats in
parliament." (author's abstract)... view less
