“…In some US states, such as California, voters are allowed to receive incentives for voting, as long as the incentives are not offered to induce a voter to vote for a particular candidate or ballot measure. However, political leaders often distribute incentives strategically increasing turnout among population groups that are more likely to support them (Hasen, 2000(Hasen, : 1355(Hasen, -1356. This example again suggests a positive relationship between "vote buying" and turnout.…”

a b s t r a c tAlthough national elections in Latin America are now described as reasonably free and fair by international observations teams, electoral processes are still affected by a series of malpractices (unequal access to the media and public resources, registration problems, vote buying). These irregularities negatively affect citizens' trust in elections. In this paper, we analyze the consequences of low trust in elections and exposure to vote buying practices on electoral participation in Latin America. Using data from the 2010 wave of LAPOP surveys, we find that perceiving that the election is unfair reduces the willingness to participate in national elections, but receiving material incentives during the campaign has the opposite effect of increasing electoral participation. We also show that the effect of trust in elections on turnout is larger in countries where voting is not mandatory.

“…And third, there is a concern that vote buying may promote inefficiency. Hasen (2000) offers a critical analysis of these three arguments and concludes that although all three are justified in the context of general political election, they are all unjustified in the context of corporate elections, despite the apparent similarity between the two cases. 1 Perhaps for this reason, some states have indeed recently begun to allow for corporate vote buying in cases it passes a test of "intrinsic fairness" (Hasen, 2000;Levmore, 2000).…”

“…Manne (1964), Clark (1979), and more recently Andre (1990), Hasen (2000) and Levmore (2000) presented informal arguments in favor of vote buying but they either ignored or otherwise dismissed the problem of looting or the possible existence of bad equilibria as discussed by Cole (2001) and others (see also the recent paper by Hu and Black, 2006). In 1985, in response to the brisk merger and acquisition activity of the early 1980s, a group of Wall Street professionals suggested decoupling shares and votes for short periods of time to facilitate vote buying transactions but did not submit a formal request to the Securities and Exchange Commission (Rent-A-Vote?…”

On the efficiency of vote buying when voters have common interests

We examine the conditions under which vote buying may promote efficiency in an environment where voters have identical preferences with respect to the behavior of their elected representatives (who are subject to both moral hazard and adverse selection). Our results suggest that permission of vote buying may prove beneficial in the market for corporate control and in some types of local political elections.Jel Classification numbers: D72, G32, G34, K22.

“…The latter practice is also mentioned by Hasen [8] and called "legislative logrolling". Hasen further differentiates the issues of corporate vote buying, payments to increase turnout, campaign promises and campaign contributions, and vote buying in so-called "special district" 1 elections.…”

Anonymity in Voting Revisited

Abstract. According to international law, anonymity of the voter is a fundamental precondition for democratic elections. In electronic voting, several aspects of voter anonymity have been identified. In this paper, we re-examine anonymity with respect to voting, and generalise existing notions of anonymity in e-voting. First, we identify and categorise the types of attack that can be a threat to anonymity of the voter, including different types of vote buying and coercion. This analysis leads to a categorisation of anonymity in voting in terms of a) the strength of the anonymity achieved and b) the extent of interaction between voter and attacker. Some of the combinations, including weak and strong receiptfreeness, are formalised in epistemic logic.
