Abstract

When studying rural elections in China, scholars usually consider voting participation as consistent across the village and township levels. Using a cross-sectional research design based on data collected in 2009–2011 in rural China, this study reveals that voter turnout in village elections is significantly higher than in township elections. This finding is robust across regions and at different economic development levels. In addition, findings from multivariate regression analyses with bootstrapped Brier scores report that perceived fairness of elections and prevalence of low corruption are strong predictors for voter turnout. Gaps in voting participation of local government elections may reflect different political landscapes in rural governance in Chinese villages versus townships.

解读中国农村地方政府选举中的投票参与差距

在研究中国农村选举时，学者们通常认为乡镇两级的投票参与是一致的。基于2009-2011年在中国农村收集的数据，采用横断面研究设计，本研究表明，农村选举的选民投票率显著高于乡镇选举。这一发现在不同地区和不同的经济发展水平上都是有力的。此外，根据Brier评分进行的多元回归分析结果显示，选举的公平性和低腐败率是选民投票率的有力预测因素。地方政府选举投票参与度的差距可能反映了中国乡村和乡镇乡村治理的不同政治格局。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
