Abstract

This panel discusses the effect or impact of electoral reforms on political behavior in recent Latin American elections. In the last decade most countries in the region have approved political reforms that intent to promote broader political rights and freedoms, to increase women representation, to prevent electoral malpractices but also to incorporate reelection for the Executive Power. What are the effects of these reforms on electoral and political behavior? This panel offers a comparative approach to Latin American elections.
