Abstract
In Latin America, corruption may not only disrupt the political scene but also drive citizens to the streets. Focusing on Colombia, this article tests hypotheses regarding the influence of corruption on different forms of political participation. The research considers elections and several other forms of political participation such as meetings and demonstrations. The study also distinguishes between perceptions of corruption and experience with corruption and their respective effects. The results support the conclusion that the perception of corruption among citizens leads to low turnout for certain types of political participation, whereas experience with corruption leads to higher participation.
