A growing body of evidence from cognitive and political psychology shows that people would do a much better job as voters if they had all the relevant information. Based on this normative expectation, Diego’s actual research project investigates the potential of internet-based Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) to counterbalance the perils inherent to the growing personalization of contemporary democratic politics.
