Résumé : Audience expectations of election campaign messages in Belgium, Britain and France are treated in this study as a point of departure for the comparative analysis of different political communication systems. Broad cross‐national similarities in voters’ priorities of communication need at election time are traced. In each case television is the most favoured medium of election information. Sub‐group analysis, however, discloses large variations in the forces shaping voters’ motives for following a campaign in the different countries. Demographic factors are mainly influential in Britain, political affiliations in France, and regional/linguistic divisions in Belgium. Copyright © 1978, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved
