“…However, the findings are mixed and largely depend on the chosen actual geographic scale. Similarly, Förster (2018) detected different levels of political participation by varying the geographic scale of immigrant rates between one km² neighborhoods up to the governmental district level. Thus, what researchers can predict from social science theory and by having access to geospatial information also depends on the geographic scale of the data at hand.…”

“…However, this competition for representation and political influence logic may not be the (or the only) potential driver behind increased political participation in contexts with NCV rights. Concentrating on the activating role of inclusive electoral contexts, evidence from studies on Austria and Germany (both at the neighbourhood level) show that a higher share of electorally excluded non-citizens has a dampening effect on overall turnout (Förster, 2008;Stadlmair, 2020). More specifically, Stadlmair finds evidence of a local contagion mechanism of participation where, in the presence of the electoral exclusion of a sizeable number of immigrant populations, citizens living in such areas are documented to participate less in elections due to a spatial lack of political interaction and subsequent non-engagement (2020).…”

“…In general, the electoral turnout of indigenous minorities tends to be lower compared to the rest of the population (Campbell, 2006;Förster, 2018;Martinez i Comma & Nai, 2017) and that, even with a compulsory vote, ethnic fragmentation stimulates invalid voting, generating problems for the legitimacy of the electoral results (Martinez i Coma & Werner, 2019). From another perspective, the argument has been made that, at least in the United States, racial differences in the electoral turnout are largely attributable to local election officials providing more poll workers and voting machines to more heavily white precincts, at the expense of precincts serving minority voters (Pettigrew, 2020).…”
