“…Nevertheless, studies of this kind corroborate the lower interest shown towards local electoral processes, owing to the limited number of studies carried out to date in contrast with other fields. Along these lines, part of such content has been approached as a group of various cases within one single election (Borja-Orozco 2022; Criado et al 2013;Hagar 2015;Jara et al 2017;Kropf 2021;Lampoltshammer et al 2023;López-de-Ayala-López et al 2016;Martínez-Rolán 2016;˙Ikiz et al 2014;Sobaci et al 2016). On the other hand, others have tended to focus on one specific local campaign or election as a case study (Carrillo-Rodríguez and Toca-Torres 2022;García-Carretero and Pérez-Altable 2017;Lombana-Bermúdez et al 2022;Nicasio-Varea and Pérez-Galdón 2021;Raynauld and Greenberg 2014) 3 .…”

This paper analyses the messages that candidates emitted on the social network Twitter (now called “X”) during the campaign for the 2023 municipal elections in the city of Seville and the emotions they used. This type of electoral process has usually been deemed as second-order elections within multilevel governance political systems, implying that the national arena may affect local dynamics to some degree. Thus, the main research objective is to determine the extent to which elements of nationalisation were used in candidates’ rhetoric, along with the emotional components associated with each political formation during a local campaign somewhat relevant on the state level. A total of 960 tweets were retrieved through R Statistics and the Application Programming Interface of the social network itself. They were then analysed drawing upon the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count programme. The results show that certain elements of nationalisation were indeed used by candidates, in addition to emotional-level differences present in their messages. This accentuates the evident need for further research on municipal elections and campaigns, as well as on their potential distinctive features regarding political jurisdiction.

The electoral success of social media losers: a study on the usage and influence of Twitter in times of elections in Paraguay

et al. 2022

In recent years, social media has become increasingly relevant in democratic decision-making processes, such as referendums or elections. Recent investigations have raised the concern of social media misuse in attempts to manipulate the public opinion and influence results, undermining the foundations of democracy. By analyzing the use of Twitter during the 2017/2018 presidential elections in Paraguay, this study provides empirical evidence and analysis about the role of social media on political campaigns. In a departure from other countries in the region, dominance in this network did not correlate with elections results. The results we highlight in this article, therefore, challenge the impact of social media on elections, offering an interesting view of their role in Latin America countries, like Paraguay.
