AB - This study deals with the impact of changing a citizen’s residential area on both partisan preferences and voting decisions of Youngnam-born and Honam-born voters in the 2014 regional election of South Korea. Analyzing the post-election survey data of the KSDC, it examines whether and how the strong partisan preferences and the “regional voting” of Youngnam-born and Honam-born voters for the Saenuri Party and the New Politics Alliance for Democracy, two regional parties of Korea, have waned when they move to other regions. Test results show that a notable “residential movement effect” (RVE) exists. More interestingly, this study shows that Honam-born voters have a stronger RVE on their partisan preference, but a weaker RVE on regional voting than Youngnam-born voters. Based on these findings, this study suggests that the disparity between movement effects on the party preference and on voting decision implies that institutional design to avoid distorting voter preferences is required for promoting rational political citizenship through the weakening of regional voting.
