Recent Directions in VAA Design and Usage

Abstract

Since their rise in the late 1980s, Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) have become a significant element of electoral campaigns, particularly in Europe, where millions of citizens utilize them. Although the number of VAA designers is on the rise, many of the VAAs currently in use closely resemble those developed over a decade ago in terms of layout and methodology. This panel brings together papers that explore innovations in VAA design, including the usage of Conversational Agents and the integration of additional information, such as videos, images, fact checks, or summaries of arguments politicians use in the political debate. The panel welcomes both qualitative and quantitative contributions addressing these and related aspects of VAA design and VAA usage.
