Abstract:
|
Most autocracies today hold multiparty elections. Yet the behavior of voters and parties in these regimes often appears puzzling. Why do autocrats insist in holding elections and then steal them? Why is there variation in the level of fraud in these elections? When would autocrats submit to clean elections, by for example, delegating the organization and monitoring of elections to independent electoral commissions? Under what conditions would autocrats yield power peacefully if defeated in elections? This paper answers these fundamental questions by developing a theory of autocratic elections and electoral fraud. |
