Abstract
Recent studies have shown how the location of a refugee centre might have an impact on the voting behaviour of nearby neighbourhoods. This study explains how contact theory and the halo effect explain why it is not the people living closest to the refugee centre voting for populist anti-immigrational parties but rather citizens living too far from the refugee centres to experience the effects of immigration and integration. Using a multiple linear regression it is found that all the variables used in the research have a significant impact on voters to vote for an anti-political establishment party. Distance is posetively correlated with the percentage of votes populist parties receive in Dutch neigbourhoods.
