Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: In this paper we purport to test the proposition that elections have a democratizing effect, drawing on cross-sectional time-series data at best covering a global sample of 193 countries from 1919 to 2004. The current effect of elections hypothesis implies that the holding of an election tends to yield democratizing gains either in the time period following shortly after the election or in the non-electoral spheres of society. We find some support for this hypothesis, but this support hinges on the inclusion of one or two outlying observations. The historical effect of elections hypothesis instead holds that a prolonged series of elections in the end tends to yield a democratizing effect. This version found no support whatsoever in the data. Neither a cumulative stock of elections, regardless of their nature or quality, nor a cumulative stock of multiparty elections or democratic elections had any visible effects on the prospects for democratization. We conclude by discussing the implications of these negative findings for the field.
