Abstract
This chapter considers the manipulation of vote choice from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. The chapter probes the correlates of voter manipulation (understood as the manipulation of campaign tactics, vote buying, and voter intimidation) by means of both large-N and case study analysis. Case studies are undertaken of the Malawian and Mozambican elections of 2004, for which relevant survey data are readily available. Corruption is found to be strongly associated with preference manipulation, while a free press impedes this process. There is also evidence to suggest that a vibrant civil society deters the manipulation of voters.
