Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: The recent rejection of both incumbent and established nonincumbent parties in many Latin American countries calls into question the application of retrospective voting theories in the region. I show how political institutional arrangements determine whether voters will punish incumbent parties by supporting established nonincumbents or new parties altogether. Many voters evaluate incumbent party performance, as well as the performance of parties holding office just before incumbents came to power. I argue that, if more than one party exposed citizens to hardship, voters will hope to reject both incumbents and any party holding office in recent years. Even so, when institutions reduce the opportunities available to small parties, citizens are less likely to throw their support behind them, leading voters to punish incumbents by voting for established nonincumbents. More permissive institutional contexts, in contrast, encourage citizens to punish old parties by supporting new ones.
