  Abstract:  This article investigates the effects of an electoral education program conducted in 30 Romanian multi-ethnic villages during the 2004 local elections. Based on survey data, a series of semi-structured interviews and official electoral data, the study aims to assess to what extent quality of information, propensity to vote and incidence of correct voting (i.e. avoiding unintentional null votes) can be increased by intentional means. The research finds support for a significant increase of political information among the voters, but less clear evidence regarding the influence on correct voting and turnout.
