1 Elections Overview 1. What do elections do? 2. Wh do people vote? 3. Tpes of Electoral Sstems 1 2 What do elections do? (1) What do elections do? (2) Choose candidates to represent individual citizens Representative as delegate Make polic as if she/he was reflecting a plebiscite of an electoral district Representative as agent Transfer authorit to representative to decide what is best and attempt to produce an outcome that is best for the district mobilize support for regime, build legitimac, create a sense of civic involvement, disseminate information, etc. 3 4 Wh do people vote? Instrumental Voting (1) 1. Instrumental 2. Expressive 3. Consumptive 4. Avoid Punishment (Defensive Voting?) People ma vote on the chance that the ma have a causal effect on the outcome of the election, and the care who wins the election. The Paradox of Participation If large number of people vote, then there s a vanishingl small chance of having a causal effect on the outcome. As a result, no individual should vote in large elections. If no one votes in large elections, than an individual that votes can determine the outcome 5 6
2 Instrumental Voting (2) Irrationalit of voting Suppose 1. there are two candidates (Gore,Bush) and for voter x, Gore I x (Bush + $10,000) (where I x means x is indifferent between) 2. There are 1,000,000 voters EU x (Vote for Gore)=$10,000 x p Where p is the probabilit that x is the tie breaking vote in the election. If x has as good a chance as an other voter of being decisive, then p=1/1,000,000 Instrumental Voting (3) Irrationalit of voting If p= , then EU x (Vote for Gore)=$10,000 x =$.01 Which means if the act of voting involved anthing that x would not do in exchange for a penn, it would be irrational for x to go to vote for Gore 7 8 Expressive Voting Consumptive Voting Perhaps people vote because 1. the care about the outcome and the want other people to know it! Prof. Anna Harve has argued that this is where parties come from from. 2. the want other people to know the are involved It s what one does. Perhaps people vote because the get something out of the act itself 1. It s a happening like a sporting event, or concert. 2. It s a ritual that provides benefits unrelated to outcome 1. Provides sense of communit 2. Civic religion 3. It s valued as an important element of democrac. 1. Its the right thing to do 9 10 Defensive voting? Tpes of Electoral Sstems In some circumstances, people ma vote to avoid punishment. 1. In some sstems voting is compulsor Australia, Soviet Union 2. In some countries voters are coerced into voting b partisans Pluralit Rule Candidate(s) in electoral district with the most votes wins Proportional Representation Parties receive share of legislative seats based on the share of votes the receive in the electoral district Single Transferable Vote Voters rank candidates, an candidate who s total of first preference votes exceeds Droop quota (v/(s+1)) is elected If seats remain un-filled, surplus first preference votes are transferred to voter s second choice Process continues until all votes are filled 11 12

European examples of Proportional Representation Sstems Number of votes per voter (v) Number of Elector Can voters Legislators elected al partiall per district Formul abstain?

4 Michel's Iron Law of Oligarch" Parties, to be effective, need to develop an experienced, full time leadership. This leadership will necessaril come to define its interests in a manner that is independent from the rank file of part supporters, it will therefore, not sta true to the polic preferences or ideological concerns that, in part, gave birth to the part in the first place. More succinctl. The leadership of an organization will develop goals that are distinct from the goals of the members of the organization. And, since the are the leaders, their goals will become dominant Duverger s Law(s) Wh does the electoral sstem effect the part sstem? H 1 : The simple-majorit single-ballot sstem favors the two-part sstem. (Duverger 1963, p. 217). H 2 : The simple-majorit sstem with second ballot and proportional representation favor multi-partism (Duverger 1963, p.239) 1. Mechanical Effect 2. Strategic Voting 3. Strategic Entr The Mechanical Effect In SMDP sstems, the wa votes get translated into seats rewards large parties and punishes small parties.
