Abstract
This study examines whether the electorate votes for the most active incumbent parliament members in the context of the Greek elections held in January 2015. I introduce a new measure of parliamentary activity based on the parliamentary work of each incumbent during the previous parliamentary period. The findings suggest that incumbents with a higher parliamentary activity are more likely to get re-elected. The results hold when controlling for age, sex and familiarity. The findings bear important implications for the electorate and the parliament members.
