| Summary: | Citizen perceptions of electoral integrity play an influential role in their assessment of democracy. This research argues that citizens’ perceptions of electoral integrity and malpractice are further conditioned by their level of interest in politics. If elections are perceived as free and fair, those who are more interested in politics are expected to be more satisfied with democracy. Focusing on the Mexican case, the analysis shows that interest in politics conditions the relationship between perceptions of electoral malpractice and satisfaction with democracy. Citizens who are more interested in politics are less satisfied with democracy when they perceive evidence of fraud or electoral manipulation. |
