摘要

近几十年来,自由民主国家大大扩大了公民参与的范围,呼吁公民在越来越多的民众投票中投票。本研究探讨选举频率上升对选举参与度的影响。它扩展了投票演算,并对过去的投票在何时以及如何影响当前选民投票率进行了理论化。我们认为,所有选举类型都有助于选举频率的一个共同因素,即使在最重要的选举中,其高值也会降低投票率,降低政党动员的有效性。我们使用1939年至2019年间22个欧洲民主国家举行的所有重要选举和公民投票的原始数据库、两个自然实验以及选举制度比较研究的调查数据,找到了对新理论的支持。我们的研究结果揭示了当代的参与趋势,并对民主公民身份和民主制度工程产生了重大影响。

Election Frequency and Voter Turnout
In recent decades, liberal democracies have considerably expanded the scope for citizen participation, calling their citizens to vote in a growing number of popular votes. This research investigates the effects of the rising election frequency on electoral participation. It expands on the voting calculus and theorizes which, when, and how past votes affect current voter turnout. We argue that all election types contribute to a common factor of election frequency, whose high values depress turnout and reduce the effectiveness of party mobilization even in the most important elections. We find support for the new theory using an original database of all significant elections and referendums held in 22 European democracies between 1939 and 2019, two natural experiments, and survey data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems. Our findings shed light on contemporary participation trends and have major implications for democratic citizenship and democratic institutional engineering.

期刊介绍: Comparative Political Studies is a journal of social and political science which publishes scholarly work on comparative politics at both the cross-national and intra-national levels. We are particularly interested in articles which have an innovative theoretical argument and are based on sound and original empirical research. We also encourage submissions about comparative methodology, particularly when methodological arguments are closely linked with substantive issues in the field.
