Amongst the many ways in which Japan confounds sociological theory is that the turnout for municipal elections exceeds that for national elections. Yusaku Horiuchi examines the reasons for this phenomenon, looking closely at the role of institutions & the incentives that attract voters to the polls.
Introduction -- Turnout twist : higher voter turnout in lower-level elections -- A rational choice model of relative voter turnout -- Three levels of quantitative tests -- Culture or institutions? : elections in a traditional society -- Conclusion.
