Abstract
This study explores why Chinese international students volunteer in Australian election campaigns, despite their lack of voting rights. Through semi-structured interviews with 30 student volunteers, the study identifies their motivations categorised as ‘expressive’ (the expression of political attitudes), ‘substantive’ (pursuit of political or career goals), and ‘experiential’ (engagement with Australian public life and skill-building). Focusing on non-voting participants, this study provides unique insights into their roles and experiences in election campaigns. Findings reveal both appreciation of campaign participation and discontent with menial tasks or unfulfilled promises from candidates. These insights shed light on why political parties seek non-voter involvement and how such participation aligns with broader shifts in party engagement amidst declining mass memberships. This study advances understanding of migrant participation in democratic politics, especially among non-citizens, with implications for party strategies and political engagement models.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
