Why do minority voters like to make political group commitment, and what effect does elite characteristics have on their choices under political uncertainty? Very little empirical research tries to answer these questions in a systematic way. This article examines patterns of minority politics and the underlying motivation of mass choice. I find that the elite's characteristics help minority voters make coordinated choice to signal their voices. I reach these conclusions by specifying and testing an individual-level model of minority choice, using as dependent variable the probability that New Party voters will vote for their candidates in 1994 and 1998 Taipei Mayoral Elections.
