?:abstract
  • Political parties vary widely in the degree to which they allow party members to participate in the selection of candidates running on a party ticket or list. Indeed, the comparative party system literature does a good job of categorizing and describing the ways in which a party defines its "selectorate" and governs its behavior. Where the literature falters, however, is in giving us a clearer picture of how those candidate selection rules affect the voting members of the party on Election Day. The common wisdom is that electoral systems using proportional representation will have higher levels of turnout, but this common wisdom has never been tested using a measure of how involved voters are in the selection of their candidates or lists. In this paper, I use Bille's (2001) classification of party rules to create an indicator for the openness of candidate selection methods among political parties in several Western European countries. I then use CSES data to test the extent to which these party rules affect voter turnout, levels of political information, and degree of political participation (such as campaign contributions, volunteering, etc.)—at both the party level and national level. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript (xsd:string)
