To have your cake and eat it too: accountability under a preferential voting system
(Europejskie Stowarzyszenie Studentów Prawa ELSA Poznań, 2014-06) Mikulska, Anna
Informed by the findings in the economic voting literature and using an original dataset on Polish elections this research breaks away from this established practice and goes a step further by showing how economic conditions allow voters to distinguish between high/low performers and effectively attribute responsibility under open-list PR systems where voters can choose not only among parties but also among individual candidates. By integrating open-list design into the model of accountability this study transforms the way we think about the very act of voting.
