"The impact of elections: voting, political behaviour and democracy in sub-Saharan Africa"
This major research project aims to break new ground by addressing the role of popular ideas about the (im)morality of electoral (mal)practice. Seeking to move beyond a literature that has generally focussed on the way in which ruling parties have sought to manipulate elections, Dr Cheeseman and his colleagues are investigating the extent to which electoral practice has been both driven and constrained by popular expectations and demands.
The project considers what legally counts as electoral malpractice in a given country – this represents an important framework of reference for candidates, donors, electoral commissions, and judiciaries – and focuses on what is seen as legitimate and illegitimate by citizens. While the "menu of manipulation" available to electoral contestants is broad – including ballot box stuffing, vote-buying, constituency gerrymandering, biased development spending, and the intimidation of party activists and voters – these acts are sometimes accepted or at least tolerated by ordinary people, and in certain circumstances some of these practices are even popularly supported and demanded.
