Why do dictatorships have elections? Dictatorship and the Electoral
Vote analyses the role of elections in two dictatorships that were
born in the Era of Fascism but survived up to the 1970s: the
Portuguese New State and Francoism. A comparative study of the
electoral vote held by both dictatorships is revealing at many
organizational and structural levels. The multiple political
interactions involved in elections worldwide have been subject to
social science scrutiny but rarely encompass historical context.
The analysis of the electoral vote held by Iberian dictatorships is
uniquely placed to link the two. The issues to hand include:
drawing of electoral rolls; evolution of the number of people
allowed to vote; candidate selection processes; propaganda methods;
impact on the institutional structure of the regime; the
socio-political biographies of the candidates; the electoral
turnout and final tally; relationship between the central and
peripheral authorities of the state; and the viewpoint of regime
authorities on the holding of elections. Comparative analysis of
all these issues enables a better understanding of the political
nature of these dictatorships as well as a comprehensive
explanation of the historical roots and evolution of the elections
these dictatorship held since 1945. Based on primary archival
documents, some of them never previously accessed, the book offers
a detailed explanation of how these dictatorships used elections to
consolidate their political authority and provides a historical
approach that allows placing both countries in the framework of
European electoral history and in the history of the political
evolution of Iberian dictatorships between the Axis defeat and
their breakdown in the mid-seventies.
