Is voting just a matter of numbers? That's the impression that can be given by an election chronicle focused on the curve of voting intentions or on percentages of vote composition or distribution. And yet, while voting remains fundamentally an operation of counting and decounting, it is not enough to count votes in favour understand how voters perceive the electoral offer, interpret the issues and ultimately make their choice. The contributions in this book are based on a long-running qualitative and quantitative survey conducted at close quarters with citizens, and examine the impact of social trajectories and the contexts of their lives on the way they vote. Conducted throughout the 2017 elections, the survey shows the persistence of the social roots of voting in the face of unprecedented disorder in the electoral offer. It proposes a new approach to the sociology of the social variables that shape electoral preferences.
