Abstract
This study examines the impact of provincial (state) elections on the number of electoral parties in national legislative elections. Using data from Argentina, the most salient determinant of electoral multipartism in national legislative elections was found to be the degree of temporal concurrence between the gubernatorial and congressional elections, not national rules such as the district magnitude or the presidential-legislative election timing cycle The analysis suggests that scholars studying the political consequences of electoral laws in national elections can profit from a greater consideration of the potential impact of subnational elections.
