Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: In recent years, nonpartisan �Party ProfileWebsites� (PPWs) have become hugely popular in various countries with multiparty systems, like Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands, sometimes even attracting 25 per cent of all voters. On these interactive websites, PPW users respond to a number of policy questions, and these answers are used to calculate the distance between their own preferences and party programs, resulting in an individualized �party profile�. PPWs can be seen as one of the few innovations in election campaigning, fully exploiting the interactive opportunities created by the internet. Our analysis of the logfiles of the 2003 and 2004 Belgian PPWs demonstrate that PPW users tend to be highly educated, male and young, but as the campaigns progresses, these characteristics do become less outspoken. Following PPW users on a day to day basis shows that policy preferences of late users (the final days before the elections) are not more crystallized or outspoken than those of early PPW users (one month before the elections). We close with some speculations about what this finding might tell us about campaign dynamics.
