摘要
Despite its centrality in current and past political developments, scholars know little about the motivations underlying split-ticket voting in Latin America. We consider the case of Brazil, one of the region's most notorious cases of "permanent divided government" and split-ticket voting. We find the rate of split-ticket voting to be extremely high in Brazil (nearly 70% of all votes cast), and we conduct analyses that highlight its institutional and individual-level sources.
