A consensus seems to exist around physically attractive candidates winning elections more often. Unfortunately, how voters evaluate candidates with socioeconomically (dis)advantageous “looks” is relatively unknown. To bridge this gap, we studied the electoral consequences of candidates looking upper-class, middle-class, or working-class. Using official electoral data for the 2017 Finnish municipal elections and a novel dataset based on a representative sample of the Finnish population (N=7,920), we found that Finnish citizens systematically vote for candidates who look like they have (and do have) upper-class occupations. Furthermore, the data strongly suggest that a systematic electoral penalty exists, particularly for female candidates who look as if they have (and do have) working-class occupations.
