Using a combination of existing and original research, this new
text provides a simple explanation for the low turnout in American
elections: rather than creating an environment conducive to
participation, the institutional arrangements that govern structure
participation, representation, and actual governance in the United
States create an environment that discourages widespread
participation. To explore this argument, the author examines the
origins and development of registration laws, single-member
districts, such as the Electoral College, and the separation of
powers and the impact these institutions have on turnout levels in
American national elections. To this end, the text employs a
narrative discussing the impact of institutions on turnout in the
United States and across nations, supported with extensive yet
accessible data analysis. Hill not only provides students with
explanations for the low turnout characteristic of American
elections, but also demonstrates the powerful impact of
institutions on political life.
