The American electoral system is unique in the sheer number of contests citizens are expected to vote upon during any given cycle. While most nations have one or two offices on each ballot, localities within the United States can present voters with a dozen or more. Prior experimental and observational evidence demonstrates that when people face a greater number of political decision tasks they tend to focus on the perceived “most important tasks first,” putting greater effort into that decision and seek out the most information about that decision. Politically, this tends to result on a focus on presidential or gubernatorial races, at the expense of congressional and lower races(Andersen 2011). Voters focus on the top-of-the-ticket and rely on partisanship to guide lower decisions, and then exaggerate their perceptions of lower tier candidates that they learn less about. This study uses a unique 10-day campaign simulation that permits a more fine-grained analysis of how exactly subjects cope with the learning demands of multiple office races being contested simultaneously. By experimentally manipulating the number of offices subjects see, and the positions and personalities those candidates project, this project seeks to better map how voters seek out information about the various contests they can view, what information they pursue about the various candidates, and how the various pieces of information affect their evaluations of and decision to vote for office candidates.
