Clientelism and Vote Buying in New Democracies

Quick fact

In new democracies, clientelism and vote buying are widespread: surveys show that in some countries, a quarter or more of voters report having been offered goods or money by politicians during elections.

Imagine being offered food, cash, or a government job in exchange for your vote. In many democracies, this is not a crime story—it's a daily reality.
