This book proposes an institutionally embedded framework for
analyzing voter choice. Voters, Orit Kedar argues, are concerned
with policy, and therefore their vote reflects the path set by
political institutions leading from votes to policy. Under this
framework, the more institutional mechanisms facilitating
post-electoral compromise are built into the political process
(e.g., multi-party government), the more voters compensate for the
dilution of their vote. This simple but overlooked principle allows
Kedar to explain a broad array of seemingly unrelated electoral
regularities and offer a unified framework of analysis, which she
terms compensatory vote. Kedar develops the compensatory logic in
three electoral arenas: parliamentary, presidential, and federal.
Leveraging on institutional variation in the degree of power
sharing, she analyzes voter choice, conducting an empirical
analysis that brings together institutional and behavioral data in
a broad cross section of elections in democracies.
