|description=Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether there was evidence of vote and/or turnout buying at the focal election whereby "[v]ote and turnout buying refers to the distribution of money or gifts to individuals, families, or small groups in order to influence their decision to vote/not vote or whom to vote for. It does not include legislation targeted at specific constituencies, i.e., 'porkbarrel' legislation" (Coppedge et al. 2020b, 64). Lower values indicate extensive vote and/or turnout buying, higher values suggest less corruption.

Label Corruption: Vote/turnout buying at national election
Related indicators

Aggregated V-Dem country expert ratings whether there was evidence of vote and/or turnout buying at the focal election whereby "[v]ote and turnout buying refers to the distribution of money or gifts to individuals, families, or small groups in order to influence their decision to vote/not vote or whom to vote for. It does not include legislation targeted at specific constituencies, i.e., 'porkbarrel' legislation" (Coppedge et al. 2020b, 64). Lower values indicate extensive vote and/or turnout buying, higher values suggest less corruption.

Coding rules

Ordinal ratings were aggregated to intervall scale applying V-Dem's measurement model (Pemstein et al. 2020). The ordinal wordings of the question are:

  • 0: Yes. There was systematic, widespread, and almost nationwide vote/turnout buying by almost all parties and candidates.
  • 1: Yes, some. There were non-systematic but rather common vote-buying efforts, even if only in some parts of the country or by one or a few parties.
  • 2: Restricted. Money and/or personal gifts were distributed by parties or candidates but these offerings were more about meeting an ‘entry-ticket’ expectation and less about actual vote choice or turnout, even if a smaller number of individuals may also be persuaded.
  • 3: Almost none. There was limited use of money and personal gifts, or these attempts were limited to a few small areas of the country. In all, they probably affected less than a few percent of voters.
  • 4: None. There was no evidence of vote/turnout buying.

Data is available for election years only.
