The group of online tools labelled Voting Advice Applications (VAAs) serves voters to compare their policy preferences on major issues with the stances of political parties/candidates on these policies. The impressive numbers of users visiting VAA websites during election campaigns have led political scientists to research the effects of these tools on users’ electoral behavior and became a topic of democratic theory. The articles in this issue must address the role of VAAs in European democracies and the European Union and bridge VAA research to central fields of political science, such as electoral studies, party research, and democratic theory.
