Abstract
We compare the two-dimensional voter model with approximate theories for spinodal decomposition. The cluster size distribution and the short-time dynamics of the voter model are studied by means of a Monte Carlo simulation. The time-dependent structure factor and the long-time scaling of the voter dynamics are known analytically.
