- Inferring Strategic Voting (2013, background): “For a survey, see e.g., Blais (2006), and Merlo (2006). straightforward to extend our approach to a model of elections with both strategic voting and strategic turnout.”
- The Stability of Political Attitudes and Behaviors across Adolescence and Early Adulthood: A Comparison of Survey Data on Adolescents and Young Adults in Eight Countries (2008, background): “Adult voter turnout is consistently shaped by idiosyncratic motives, resulting in significant individual differences in participation from one election to another (Blais 2006).”
- Understanding unequal turnout: Education and voting in comparative perspective (2010, result): “Although some authors predict that it increases turnout, others claim that it depresses it; thus far, the findings are inconclusive (see Blais, 2006; Geys, 2006).”
- An Informed Forensics Approach to Detecting Vote Irregularities (2015, background): “However, beyond the 90% mark, there is a simple explanation: even in countries with compulsory voting laws, turnout in excess of 90% is rare (Blais 2006), suggesting that such results should raise a red flag.”
- The Effect of Bureaucratic Responsiveness on Citizen Participation (2017, background): “…put forward to explain why some participate while others do not: socialization (Tam Cho 1999), genetic factors (Fowler, Baker, and Dawes 2008), incentives (Rosenstone and Hansen 1993), social dynamics (Gerber, Green, and Larimer 2008), or institutional design (Blais 2006; Smets and Van Ham 2013).”
- The Effect of Newspaper Entry and Exit on Electoral Politics (2011, background): “Blais’ (2006) review of cross-national/time-series evidence concludes that “there is no clear relationship between the economic conjuncture and turnout.””
