Abstract
In order to model the opinion dynamics of voting behaviour in the region of Stockholm, we would like to adapt the Social Influence with Recurrent Mobility (SIRM) variation of the Voter Model to the voting behaviour in the Stockholm region. The initial formulation of the SIRM model has some issues that should be adressed before applying this model to the multiparty situation of Stockholm county. In this talk, we will present the problem and the data we have as well as preliminary results from simulations. For instance, we will introduce a generalized version of the SIRM model that does not suffer from the issues mentioned above.
