Abstract

AbstractThis article focuses on the repercussions of vote buying on turnout in presidential elections in eight Latin American countries. The research is conducted with individual‐level data from the AmericasBarometer database from 2018 to 2019, which includes unique questions about the respondents' experience with vote buying and whether they participated in the last presidential election. The results of our logistic regression analysis reveal that vote buying was a predictor of turnout in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico, whereas in Colombia, El Salvador, Paraguay, and Peru, this variable was statistically insignificant for predicting voter turnout.
