What the paper says

Abstract: This article presents a theoretical model of how electoral turnout might be affected by a move towards allowing citizens to cast their vote through postal votes only. The effect on turnout is compared with a system where citizens may vote by going to the polling place only. If part of the incentive to vote comes from signalling that one is the type of person who does vote, a good citizen, then the effect of a change to the electoral system might be ambiguous. Under certain circumstances turnout would fall with a move to postal voting.
