The expansion of suffrage and the introduction of elections are
momentous political changes that represent only the first steps in
the process of democratization. In the absence of institutions that
protect the electoral autonomy of voters against a range of actors
who seek to influence voting decisions, political rights can be
just hollow promises. This book examines the adoption of electoral
reforms that protected the autonomy of voters during elections and
sought to minimize undue electoral influences over decisions made
at the ballot box. Empirically, it focuses on the adoption of
reforms protecting electoral secrecy in Imperial Germany during the
period between 1870 and 1912. Empirically, the book provides a
micro-historical analysis of the democratization of electoral
practices, by showing how changes in district level economic and
political conditions contributed to the formation of an
encompassing political coalition supporting the adoption of
electoral reforms.
