Figure 1.
Probability mass functions of the number of common answers.
Comparison between the probability mass function of the number of common answers between respondents, separately for candidates and elected (top panel) and disaggregated by gender (bottom panel). The probability mass functions are obtained by considering the answers of all 1,793 candidates who provided information about the gender, and the subset of 181 elected candidates.

Over-expressed (OE) and under-expressed (UE) endorsement of a specific answer (second column) given to the related question (first column) by non elected (NE) or by elected (E) candidates respectively.

Summary statistics of the number of common answers present in the political profile of elected and non-elected candidates, disaggregated by party.
Figure 2.
Scatter plot of votes VS number of common answers within each of four parties.
Scatter plot of the geometric mean of the votes obtained versus the number of common answers for each pair of candidates belonging to the four parties KESK (top left), KD (top right), SDP (bottom left) and VIHR (bottom right). Yellow triangles denote pairs of non elected candidates, whereas blue circles denote pairs of candidates that have been elected.
Table 5.
Summary statistics of the inter-party average number of common answers present in the political profile of elected (E) and non-elected (NE) candidates, disaggregated by pairs of parties.

Correlation between the number of common answers and the geometric mean of votes of pairs of candidates belonging to different parties.
Figure 3.
Scatter plot of votes VS number of common answers for candidates belonging to different parties.
Scatter plot of the geometric mean of the votes obtained versus the number of common answers for pairs of candidates belonging to four pairs of parties. Each pair of candidates is formed by one candidate from one party and the other from a different party. The pairs of parties are: SPD-KD (top left), KD-KESK (top right), KOK-VAS (bottom left) and PS-VIHR (bottom right). Yellow triangles denote pairs of non elected candidates whereas blue circles denote pairs of candidates that have been elected.
