Are there any other dimensions in the economic voting besides valence issue? According to the recent studies, positional issue and patrimonial issue are also confirmed as important aspects of the economic voting. In addition, economic perception can affect voter’s decision to abstain. The purpose of this study is to examine the relevance of this new dimension of the economic voting in the context of Korean 2008 National assembly election. Specifically, this study aims at testing if voter’s perception of education policy and the types of housing ownership affect voter’s decision to abstain in the election. After controlling the competitive hypotheses, the empirical analysis confirms that both factors turn out to be strongly significant. Those who have a negative prospect of spending on private education and those who have a unstable housing ownership such as Chonsei (leasing) or Wolsei (rental) are more likely to abstain in the 2008 National Assembly election. The finding of this study has strong implications of the Korean electoral studies and the comparative studies of electoral behavior.
