“Deadwood” or “Driftwood”? Voter Turnout in Romania: the Myth of the Vanishing Voter and the Reality of a Disenfranchised Electorate (2010)

This paper analyzes the electoral voter participation in Romania. In particular, the author researches the presence of two phenomenons: the "deadwood" (people who have registered, but are no longer eligible because they have moved or died) and the "driftwood" (people who emigrated and are being systematically disenfranchised). In trying to analyze the reasons behind the low voter turnout in Romania, the author argues that the "driftwood" phenomenon is the real problem in the country. Concluding that the constantly decreasing voter turnout is the result of miscalculations and disenfranchisement. Finally, the author concludes with a series of recommendations and possible solutions.
