Design, Meaning and Choice in Direct Democracy examines the link
between political knowledge and participation in direct democracy
in the United States. Presenting insights on the different
behaviours of the petitioner, the ballot and the voter and using
quantitative, qualitative and experimental methodological
approaches, Shauna Reilly evaluates the use of direct democracy and
why, despite the power of these measures, there is such low turnout
in these elections. She demonstrates the varied approaches to
ballot measures and citizens particularly when dealing with citizen
comprehension which can account for the variety of language that
appears on the ballot. A rigorous and highly original analysis of
direct democracy in the United States, this book guarantees that
readers will be shocked at the findings and question the future of
governance through ballot measures.
