The text utilizes voter’s dilemma approach (VDA) to electoral participation in the analysis of turnout in the Czech Republic and the Netherlands. This text asks what the contribution of VDA to an individual-level explanation of participation in the European and national parliamentary elections might be, over and above the impact of explanatory variables contained in socio-demographic, political, campaign involvement and European attitude blocks.

Using an ecological inference technique this paper examines vote switching in the Czech Republic between the 2002 Chamber elections and 2004 European elections. These results are compared with two individual-level mass survey results. The results of these analyses confirm many of the predictions of SOET and generate further hypotheses for future research.
