- Abstract
Neither in the field of applied ethics nor from the perspective of political communications research have studies pertaining to the ethical dimension of election battles or elections been presented to date. At the same time the examination of media coverage of election campaigns offers numerous starting points for the consideration of this aspect from an ethical perspective. The discussion is carried forward through the question addressing the relevance of information conveyed by the media to voters towards casting a vote and the recently much discussed option of withholding votes. Lastly, when considering the legal dimension of the election organization, we also find impulses worthy of discussion insofar as, in light of extensive modernization and increased differentiation, voting laws are becoming for many people ever more a veritable black box. The problematization of such aspects should be seen as a stimulus towards holding a morally reflective debate following the themes of campaign management, election organization and non-voting.
