Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Who voted NO to the EU Constitutional Treaty in the Dutch 2005 national referendum? This study of vote choice and the campaign combines a content analysis of national newspapers and television news shows (N= 8395) with panel survey data (N= 1379). It investigates which factors influenced the intention to vote NO in the referendum prior to the campaign as well as the impact of campaign and media variables on the final vote choice. Results reveal that prior to the actual start of the campaign general skepticism towards the EU, disapproval of the incumbent government and feelings of national identity were the strongest determinants for the intention to vote NO in the referendum. The campaign was marked by a high degree of volatility with a considerable amount of voters changing from one side to the other over the course of the campaign. The referendum topic was highly visible in the news with a consistently positive tone towards the Constitution. In this context, higher levels of exposure to referendum news increased the likelihood of voters to switch over to the YES side. Despite the overall positive news environment many voters were cynical about the campaign as such which contributed to a NO vote.
