This panel explores the dynamics of elections, political participation, and the rise of illiberal rhetoric in Latin America, focusing on how voters, elites, and institutions interact in contemporary democratic contexts. The papers examine the conditions under which elections promote accountability, representation, and inclusion, as well as the limits of these processes. Several contributions analyse voter behaviour and electoral choice, including the effects of clientelism on economic accountability, the role of ethnicity and market integration in presidential voting in Peru, and dominant voting patterns in Mexico’s 2024 presidential election. Other papers address institutional and discursive dimensions of participation, investigating the drivers of voting age reforms in Argentina, Brazil, and Ecuador, and tracing the evolution of illiberal public claims in presidential discourse across the region since 2000. Together, the papers provide new empirical evidence on how electoral mechanisms, political incentives, and elite rhetoric shape democratic participation and contestation in Latin America.
