Democratic participation depends on access to political information, but it is shaped by whether citizens can make meaningful sense of it. This thesis examines how voters in Finland interpret political information, where that process breaks down, and why existing institutional approaches often fail to support voter sensemaking. Using interviews, a co-creation workshop, and prototype testing, the study finds that voters are motivated to be informed but are structurally constrained, often relying on trusted peer and social networks, which limit exposure to diverse perspective. In response, it develops two contributions: a voter sensemaking journey framework and FiaLign, a participatory workshop and framework for mapping lived experience to its systemic origins and facilitate conversations across silos.
