Abstract In most national elections, voters face a key choice between continuity and change. Electoral turnovers occur when the incumbent candidate or party fails to win reelection. To understand how turnovers affect national outcomes, we study all presidential and parliamentary elections held globally between 1946 and 2018.

AbstractWe introduce a framework to theoretically and empirically examine electoral maldistricting—the intentional drawing of electoral districts to advance partisan objectives, compromising voter welfare. We identify the legislatures that maximize voter welfare and those that maximize partisan goals, and incorporate them into a maldistricting index ...

The Proportionality of Electoral Systems: Electoral Welfare and Electoral Inequality
Economics & Politics, 2002This paper argues that measuring the degree of proportionality in an electoral system is equivalent to measuring the degree of electoral inequality, defined in terms of inter‐party differences in the seats‐to‐votes ratio. It proposes an index of the degree of electoral inequality which is based on Atkinson’s (1970) index, applied originally to ...

As the bumper crop of babies born since World War II matures into 21-year-old voters, the electorates of Western nations will start "younging." The proportion of older voters, which has risen rapidly in the 20th century, will reach a peak and then decline.

Ideally, a representative democracy awards a genuine vote to each adult. We study this issue in competitive democracies with an election model combining district apportionment and proportional representation. Four classic seat allocation rules, including d’Hondt, are reframed as Dutch auctions, allowing important properties to be easily derived.

It argues that elections held in single-member districts (SMD) under plurality and majority rule are more likely to be the object of malpractice than those run under proportional representation (PR).

The electoral system in Britain is the product of centuries of development. It began to be put on a democratic basis at the time of the 1832 Reform Act. Subsequent Acts in 1867, 1884, 1918, 1928, 1948, 1969 and 1985 have carried forward the process of modernisation. The result is that today we have a system of universal adult suffrage in which everyone

As new democracies consolidate, so do their accompanying party systems. A key factor contributing to this process is the establishment of rigid electoral laws that set the rules of the game. With seven reforms since its inauguration in 1974, the Greek electoral system has been an exception to this rule.
