Are Citizens in Municipalities With Uncontested Elections More Satisfied With Their Local Democracy Than Those in Municipalities With Contested Elections?
This article examines citizens’ satisfaction with their municipal democracy according to whether mayoral elections were competitive or non-competitive. After defining different types of satisfaction and based on a survey of 4,026 respondents in the province of Quebec (Canada), we show that citizens living in municipalities where elections were non-competitive are more satisfied with the mayor than citizens living in municipalities where elections…
Deciding on secession
Loss aversion is well supported by experimental evidence from structured and well-defined private decision-making tasks, yet its role in political dilemmas remains uncertain. Logically comparing alternatives and evaluating the consequences of political decisions is often challenging and typically depends on substantive cognitive assessment. In secession referendums, voters must weigh the personal and collective future consequences of their choice…
Lifespans of Independent Municipal Political Parties in a Non-partisan Context
Municipal parties in Canada are unique: They are not branches of national parties, they have no established ideological orientation and their lifespans vary considerably. In light of these characteristics, political scientists tend to overlook the factors that contribute to their emergence and disappearance as well as the diversity of their forms. The objective of this article is to fill this gap. Taking the city of Montreal as a case study, we d…
La rémunération des élus municipaux québécois
L’objet de ce texte est d’analyser le contexte, le contenu et les effets de la modification législative concernant la rémunération des élus municipaux, entrée en vigueur en janvier 2018, afin d’en saisir la portée au sein des transformations contemporaines du monde municipal québécois. En particulier, nous nous intéressons à la manière dont l’enjeu de la rémunération est cadré par les principales associations municipales de la province, et commen…
Circulation de l’information et définition de la démocratie dans certaines municipalités québécoises
À partir d’entrevues semi-dirigées et d’observations documentaires, cet article met en évidence la façon dont les élus municipaux, les journalistes et les directions de communication conçoivent la circulation de l’information et définissent la démocratie au sein de trois municipalités situées en périphérie de Montréal. Nos résultats récusent l’idée souvent présentée dans les écrits d’une faible circulation de l’information, mais soulignent que la…
A New Tunnel Effect? The Impact of Stress on Vote Choice
The literature shows a link between stress and voter turnout, but does stress influence vote choice as well? What would explain such a relationship? Using a survey of Quebec (Canada) voters conducted during the 2017 municipal election (n = 1,130), we show that 1) there is a relationship between stress and vote choice, and 2) voters who consider road congestion to be an important issue and who report being stressed tend to vote for the party that …
Démocratie et évaluation des politiques publiques
Le lien entre l’évaluation et la démocratie est ancien. Ce segment thématique illustre les concepts de reddition de compte, de légitimité, de transparence, de participation et présente leurs répercussions sur l’évaluation. Il met également l’accent sur les dimensions de la communication politique qui sont moins souvent discutées dans la littérature en évaluation de programme, les évaluateurs se concentrant davantage sur les dimensions administrat…
Influences on the Number and Gender of Candidates in Canadian Local Elections
We explore influences on the number of candidates, and female candidates in particular, who contest mayoral elections in Canada. We draw on an original cross-national data set of election results from mayoral elections in Canada's 100 largest cities between 2006 and 2017. An average of 4.96 candidates contested mayoral elections in this period, and 16 per cent of all candidates were women. Density and mayoral prestige were related to higher numbe…
Accountability and Responsiveness at the Municipal Level
Turnout in Local Elections
We provide the first wide-scale analysis of the factors that influence voter turnout in Canadian local elections. Drawing on original data from 300 municipal elections conducted from 2004 to 2014, we use ordinary least squares regression with panel-corrected standard errors for time series cross-sections to test explanatory hypotheses related to differences in institutional design, the social-spatial context of these elections, and local competit…

Fewer voters, higher stakes? The applicability of rational choice for voter turnout in Quebec municipalities
Municipal voter turnout is often considered to be a function of electorate size. According to the rational choice theory of voter behavior, a rational voter is more inclined to abstain in the presence of larger electorates, and more likely to participate in smaller ones. This article examines the impact of electorate size on voter turnout using a multivariate regression model to explain voter participation in Quebec municipalities in the 2009 and…
Analyse écologique des déterminants de la participation électorale municipale au Québec
Au Canada, la participation électorale à l’échelle municipale est plus faible qu'aux autres échelles de gouvernement et les raisons susceptibles d'expliquer ce moindre engagement sont encore mal connues. À partir des taux de participation à la mairie aux élections de 2005 et de 2009 dans l'ensemble des municipalités du Québec (n = 949), la recherche teste 15 hypothèses explicatives de la participation électorale municipale. Les résultats montrent…
L’analyse des politiques publiques
Depuis les années 1970, les États occidentaux connaissent tous d’importants problèmes de gouvernance liés à la hausse des dépenses systémiques, au creusement des déficits budgétaires et de la dette et aux transformations structurelles de la société. Ces tendances ne donnant aucun signe de s’inverser, les politiques de l’État sont désormais élaborées, mises en oeuvre ou modifiées dans ce contexte difficile. L’analyse des politiques publiques a une…
