Abstract [en]

The Swedish elections in 2022 made international headlines first because of the breakthrough of the Swedish Democrat. This far-right populist party is now the second largest party, but also because of the 3 per cent drop in the 2022 elections compared to the previous parliamentary election of 2018. Voter turnout is a strong indicator of functional democracy and essential for the legitimacy of the democratic system. Therefore, from a normative perspective, a small drop should be the cause of concern. The article, therefore, aims to explain this surprising drop. By relying on descriptive and exploratory statistics, our preliminary analysis confirms in times of crises, turnout became lower because of the negative impact of uncertainty and degenerated life conditions.

Abstract [ko]

2022년 스웨덴 총선은 우선 스웨덴 민주당(Sweden Democrat)의 약진으로 인해 국제 뉴스의 헤드라인을 장식했다. 이 극우 포퓰리즘 정당은 현재 스웨덴에서 두 번째로 큰 정당이다. 이번 선거는 또한 지난 2018년 총선에 비해 투표율이 3 퍼센트 하락한 사실로 인해 큰 주목을 받았다. 유권자 투표율은 원활하게 기능하는 민주주의의 강한 지표이며, 민주주의 시스템의 정당성을 위해서도 본질적으로 중요하다. 그러므로 규범적 관점에서 볼 때 작은 투표율 하락도 근심의 원인이 되어야 한다. 이 논문은 이런 맥락에서 이번 스웨덴 총선의 갑작스러운 투표율 하락을 설명하고자 한다. 묘사적(descriptive) 및 설명적 통계를 바탕으로 한 우리의 예비적 분석은 위기의 시대 속 불확실성과 후퇴하는 삶의 조건 때문에 투표율이 낮아졌음을 확인한다.
