Abstract

ABSTRACT Bolivia has held elections to departmental governments in 2010, 2015, and in 2021. This election report starts with an overview of the electoral systems applied in the nine regions and subsequently discusses the election outcomes for the three elections. Regional elections in Bolivia can be conceived to be both regionalised – suggested by increasing vote shares for regional parties – as well as to be third-order elections – suggested by having lower turnout rates than local and national elections. First, this election report will explore the extent to which regional elections are regionalised by looking at dissimilarity between party vote shares between elections and at the strength of regional parties. The question of whether regional elections are second or third-order is explored by looking at valid voting rates and vote share losses for the party in the national government.

玻利维亚省选举(2010-2021):在区域化选举和三级选举之间1

摘要玻利维亚于2010年、2015年和2021年举行了部门政府选举。本选举报告首先概述了九个地区的选举制度，随后讨论了三次选举的选举结果。玻利维亚的地区选举既可以被认为是地区化的——这是通过增加地区政党的选票份额来实现的——也可以被视为三级选举——这是因为投票率低于地方和全国选举。首先，本选举报告将通过观察选举之间政党选票份额的差异以及地区政党的实力，探讨地区选举的区域化程度。通过观察该党在国家政府中的有效投票率和选票份额损失，探讨了地区选举是二级还是三级的问题。

期刊介绍： The upsurge of academic and political interest in regional and federal questions since the 1980s has been stimulated by the salience of regions in EU policy-making and the Structural Funds but also by regionalization and federalization processes in many Western states. The most striking example is the devolution occurring in the UK, but the process is at work all over Europe and in other parts of the world. These developments have led to many important research programmes and projects. Regional and Federal Studies is a refereed social science journal which provides an academic forum for the publication of international research on these issues. It is essential reading for both academics and practitioners in politics, administration and the business world.
