"This paper implements a unified model of individual abstention and vote choice to analyze\r\npolicy-based alienation and indifference in Brazil’s 2002 presidential election. The\r\nresults indicate that both alienation and indifference depressed turnout, with indifference\r\ncontributing slightly more to voter abstention. Also, the determinants of alienation and\r\nindifference differed considerably, the former being determined by structural factors such\r\nas voters’ information and perceived efficacy levels, while the latter was related to shortterm\r\naspects such as parties’ mobilization efforts. More importantly, evidence shows\r\nthat while alienation and indifference were strongly influenced by attitudinal and protest\r\nvariables, they were also affected by citizens’ evaluation of candidates’ ideological locations.\r\nThe main conclusion is that abstention in Brazil’s 2002 election had a policy-driven\r\ncomponent and that spatial considerations played a substantive role in citizens’ electoral\r\nbehavior, a fact that has been overlooked in previous research on the determinants of\r\nabstention in Latin America."^^ .
