Abstract
The political theory and strategy of populism has recently gained traction throughout the world but has a long history in Iberian South America. This region is further characterized by constitutional requirements that everyone vote, known as compulsory voting systems. We present a study showing a high use of such laws in the region as a method to elect populist leaders and maintain their control of government, and conclude that a continuation of the populist trend elsewhere is likely to be associated with more compulsory voting laws.
