Across representative democracies, there is a strong variation in
the rules that govern the electoral process. A classic insight in
political science is that these rules, e.g., the presence of a
majoritarian or a proportional system have a profound effect on the
way a democracy functions. We know less however, about the way
voters actually respond to these electoral rules. This kind of
effect presupposes that voters not only are aware of the electoral
system, but also that they adapt to the incentives offered by the
system. In this volume, a group of international scholars
investigate whether this is indeed the case. The various chapters
in this volume deal with the effect of proportionality,
mixed-member systems, compulsory voting and preferential voting.
The chapters are based on recent data and state-of-the-art methods.
The introduction confronts the findings of the various chapters
with the allegedly universal validity of vote choice models in the
literature. The research presented in this volume mainly deals with
elections in Europe, but the findings speak to the broader
community of electoral scholars. The chapters originally published
as a special issue in West European Politics.
