Abstract
Pollsters and election researchers routinely make use of voters ‘recall’ of past voting habits, with it often used as a key determinant of how they will vote at subsequent elections. However research shows that voters are often unreliable in accurately recalling how they used their vote. In observing a recent panel study, Ruth Dassoneville and Marc Hooghe argue that this assessment is broadly correct, but that it still has its uses as part of a broader mix of research methods.
