A sophisticated democratic citizen must be able to vote in a way that is most representative of his/her own political views, in short they must be able to cast their votes “correctly”. The analysis of voting behavior in the new democracies can tell us a great deal about normalization of politics in these societies overtime. Relying on the theoretical and mathematical assumption behind the “correct vote” put forth by Richard Lau and David Redlawsk (1997, 2000) the author evaluates the “correctness” of the vote choice in all of the free and fair elections in Ukraine from 1991 to 2008. The empirical results derived from the analysis of IFES survey data show that over time as the public gains experience with democratic electoral process the degree of correct voting and the correct use of heuristics increases.
