Abstract

This paper is based on a field experiment took place during the 2002 french presidential election, about the approval voting rule. We describe the experiment, its main results, and some analysis that use a behavioral model to link the individual approval vote with his or her first round vote. The main findings are as follows: (i) Such an experiment is feasable, and is very well accepted by the voters. (ii) The principle of approval voting is easily understood and accepted. (iii) The candidates Le Pen and Chirac, more than the others, where able to convert the individuals' approbabations into a first round vote. (iv) Within the observed political context, and compared to the first round, approval voting modifies the overall ranking of candidates.
