Spatial Approval Voting

Political Analysis, 2006, vol. 14, issue 2, 160-185

Abstract: This article provides a model for analyzing approval voting elections. Within a standard probabilistic spatial voting setting, we show that principal component analysis makes it possible to derive candidates' relative locations from the approval votes. We apply this technique to original experimental data from the French 2002 presidential election.
