Abstract
Gender electoral stereotypes concept is a developing paradigm are not key in electoral researches in Ukraine. However, if models are based on traditional concepts (the sociological (social background), socio-psychological approach (policy preferences, ideological positions), or rational choice’ concepts) would fail to provide the sound arguments of electoral behavior (as a turnout and a voting choice). Thus, gender electoral stereotype idea is worth to be included in the theoretical discourse as one of the key explanatory factors. Some recent researches in Ukraine have demonstrated that the 30% portion of voter’s choice had a poor connection with social identity, group preferences, partisanship, and other factors related to rational reasons. Generally, most of voters who took part in election relied on illogical schemes. Moreover, the results of exit-poll (2014) demonstrated that 10% of voters had chosen their candidate at the voting cabin. It might be proved that the impact of gender electoral stereotypes on the vote is, however, rather limited and scattered. Besides, gender electoral stereotypes are dealt with the notions similar to public opinion phenomenon (1), public moods (or sentiments) (2), knowledge component (3) and the approaches to decision making practice (4) which are not sufficiently clear.
