The first vote is like the first kiss: we remember his life ... For young people who were granted citizenship - there are about 800,000 each year - the first election and the first vote is particularly noteworthy. Various surveys have shown that the image of our experiences in our childhood and our personality structure, the first contact with an election determines lasting about politics and voting behavior later.
Having participated early in an election not only familiarizes individuals with this form of expression and makes it natural and it also increases the positive feelings towards politics and civic engagement. Having lived an active campaign and animated strengthens self-efficacy of citizens and encourages regular participation in elections. Conversely, if the first season that was experienced was nothing at stake, it is more likely to abstain thereafter. This is shown in Mark Franklin Voter Turnout & the Dynamics of Electoral Competition in Established Democracies since 1945 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004).
And Marie-Helene, one can listen HERE , confirms for the first time voting in the presidential election of 1969, she found the results of the first round so pathetic and deplorable "that she decided not to vote again (but it was reinstated for the 2007 election).
This testimony is part of a set of audio recordings will be found on the site Memories campaign, where every day of voters or political actors recount a memory of a past presidential campaign. Exciting.
