2. PRIMARY: THE
SOCIOLOGICAL
MODEL
WHAT IS THE SOCIOLOGICAL MODEL?
Basically, the sociological model of voting takes a look at how people vote based off of what is influencing them
to vote. In order to see what is influencing someone you need to take a loot at social class, religious background,
ethnicity, race, family loyalties, gender (gender affiliation) and on the job relationships. This is what makes up a
person’s political socialization.
WHAT DOES IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE ELECTION?
First of all the sociological model of voting really is taking place in every election, because most often people are
going to vote based off of their political socialization and not just follow their respective party like sheep. In this
election, many people are listening to the candidates and the questions they are asking are “How will this affect
me?” and “What will each candidate to for me?” Because of this, I would certainly say the sociological model is
taking the role as the primary model of voting in this election.

3. SECONDARY: THE
ECONOMIC MODEL
WHAT IS THE ECONOMIC MODEL?
The theory of people voting for their own self interest.
