Does optional voting impact the profile of the Brazilian electorate? A study on the 2018 elections
The research aims to analyze voter turnout in the 2018 presidential elections, from two perspectives: understanding who are the voters who declared having participated in the elections and who are the voters who would participate if the elections were not mandatory. To achieve these objectives, we will use data from the Brazilian Electoral Study – ESEB, a survey applied in 2018, with a representative sample of Brazilian voters. The research concluded that the main factors associated with the propensity to attend elections are interest in politics and income, as they have an impactful effect on the individual decision to participate.

Abstract:
The research aims to analyze voter turnout in the 2018 presidential elections, from two perspectives: understanding who are the voters who declared having participated in the elections and who are the voters who would participate if the elections were not mandatory. To achieve these objectives, we will use data from the Brazilian Electoral Study – ESEB, a survey applied in 2018, with a representative sample of Brazilian voters. The research concluded that the main factors associated with the propensity to attend elections are interest in politics and income, as they have an impactful effect on the individual decision to participate.
