?:abstract
  • The central task of this paper is to explore the relationship between income inequality, electoral turnout and government redistribution in the developed countries. The paper begins with a cross-national analysis of 14 countries over the period from the late 1970s through the mid 2000s that explores both the sources of variation in electoral turnout and the effect of turnout on government redistribution, making use of data from the Luxembourg Income Study and other sources. The paper then offers a multilevel analysis of the relationship between income and voting, employing data from the Comparative Study of Electoral Systems. The central findings are as follows. First, income inequality is negatively related to electoral turnout and turnout is positively related to the extent of government redistribution, even when other variables are taken into account. And, second, the mechanism by which turnout is associated with redistributive policies reflects a process whereby, as electoral participation declines, the actual electorate becomes less representative of the potential electorate with respect to income, which in turn has consequences for public sector redistributive policies.
