Three quantitative predictions based on past regularities about voter turnout at the French 2009 European election
arXiv:0905.4578
Abstract
The previous twelve turnout rates of French national elections by municipality show regularities. These regularities do not depend on the national turnout level, nor on the nature of the election. Based on past statistical regularities we make three predictions. The first one deals with the standard deviation of the turnout rate by municipality. The second one refers to the continuity in time of the heterogeneity of turnout rates in the vicinity of a municipality. The last one is about the correlation between the heterogeneity of turnout rates in the vicinity of a municipality and the population in its surroundings. Details, explanations and discussions will be given in forthcoming papers.
