Case Study: can we boost voting by text reminders?
Young people's turnout can be boosted by text message reminders, according to a study carried out in the context of the 2023 Finnish parliamentary elections. Text messaging had a positive effect, particularly on young people who are interested in voting but have low turnout in their environment. Randomly selected 18-30 year olds were reminded of their right to vote by text message. Around 30 000 young people received the SMS after the early voting period and the day before the actual elections.
This conclusion is based on the fact that, on the one hand, the turnout of young people who are less likely to vote, given their demographic characteristics, increased by 2.1 percentage points, while it remained the same for other groups. On the other hand, within this group, the effect was largest for those who had voted in the previous election.The reminder also had a positive effect on turnout among young people living in the same household as those who received the message and who were less likely to vote.
The study was carried out by the Ministry of Justice, the Behavioural Science Team of the Prime Minister's Office, Sitra and the University of Turku. Publication can be found here.
