Understanding the Competing Effects of Economic Hardship and Income Inequality on Voter Turnout
This article examines how economic hardship and income inequality affect voter turnout across 41 elections from 22 countries. Research on how these factors affect voter turnout has routinely produced uneven results. Furthermore, recent rises in income inequality have led many to revisit how the distribution of resources in society may affect voting. Using multilevel modeling techniques, I find strong evidence that economic hardship negatively aff…
Turnout, party system diversity and left-of-centre parties
In the last 50 or so years, observers have noted with concern declining rates of voter turnout in many democracies. There has also been a perceived narrowing of ideological diversity in many party systems, with, in particular, many parties on the left moving towards the centre. However, extant literature on turnout and party systems has realized only mixed and often contrary results. By replacing poorly performing aggregate measures of polarizati…
Polarization, Number of Parties, and Voter Turnout
Objectives The objective of this study is to explore how party systems can affect turnout by exploring the conditional effect of number of parties and party polarization on democracies. Methods Using Comparative Manifesto Project data from 26 democracies, this study develops a measure of party systems that interacts party polarization and number of parties to explain turnout. Results Findings show that the composition of the party system as a who…

This paper examines how increases in voter turnout might allow Labour to remain competitive in future general elections if Scottish representation is removed from Parliament or Labour continues to remain uncompetitive in Scotland. The loss of Scottish representation would be deleterious to Labour's prospects of gaining sizeable majorities again in Parliament. However, this prospect may be mitigated by an increase in voter turnout, as much has bee…
