Candidates' Title and Voting Behavior in Brazil
Outline
What kind of impact does candidates' attributes have on voting behavior when they advertise the attributes through their title? The Brazilian electoral law posits a unique rule in which candidates can use their "other names" such as business names and nicknames for their electoral ballots and can run a campaign using their titles (e.g., "Pastor A"). Focusing on the case of Brazil, this study uncovers the mechanism in which voters collect the information of candidates' attributes.
