Spatial regression model predicting

Thailand’s election result.

Arnond Sakworawich, Ph.D.

Graduate School of Applied Statistics

National Institute of Development Administration, Bangkok, Thailand

AbstractThe purpose of the current research are to 1) investigate the spatial relationships of voting

behaviors among each electorates, 2) investigate geographical, behavioral, socio-economic, and

demographic components related to election results, and 3) build up the spatial negative binomial

regression models predicting Thailand election results. Election results in 2005 and 2007 retrieved from Election Commission of Thailand (ECT) were used to predict % vote for no vote, vote No, voided

ballot, as well as % vote for Democrat Party, Pheu Thai Party, Chartthaipattana Party, and Bhumjaithai

Party as behavioral components for 2011 election results. Socio-economic and demographic variables

were from socio-economic status survey in 2010 from National statistical office. Geographic variables

were from department of land development and department of royal irrigation. Moran’s I statistics and

the spatial negative binomial regression model were used to investigate the spatial autocorrelation of

election results among electorates and the relationship between geographical, behavioral, socio-

economic, and demographic components and election results. This current research will shed light on

how to develop Thailand’s politics and it can also be applied for election and campaign management.

The spatial negative binomial regression model can be used to predict an incoming election results by

substitute 2011 election results with the near future election poll.

-Spatial autocorrelation cannot be ignored when we want to study election in Thailand.- Spatial autocorrelation for PhueThai party is way higher than Democrat party.- Spatial autocorrelation for party list is way higher than Electorate.- Regionalism strongly influences election results.-Socio-economic, demographic, geographic, and past behavioral factors are related to voting behaviors.- Past voting behaviors is the best predictor of future voting result.- It is harder to predict voting result for small and medium sized political party.- Urban, city, middle income, educated, working profession, and females tend to Vote NO.- Low income, work in agricultural sector, without contributing family business tend to have VOIDED ballots.- Northerners and Northeasterners tends to participate in election more than other regions.- Two large party is majority of Party list Voting.

Conclusion and Discussion

-Spatial regression models predicting party list voting result- Develop model to predict future voting result when public election polls is available.- Political development and socio-economic development
