Abstract
El estudio de la participación electoral ha interesado por gran tiempo a la ciencia política debido a su importancia teórica, empírica y metodológica. La investigación busca estimar el poder predictivo de un modelo de la teoría de elección racional sobre los niveles de participación electoral en 64 elecciones presidenciales de los países de América Latina entre 1995 y 2010. Se encuentra que la competencia electoral, el poder presidencial, el estatus mayoritario, el voto obligatorio, el registro no voluntario y la inercia del electorado influyen significativamente en los niveles de participación. El poder predictivo es constatado por medio de la variabilidad explicada por el modelo y los pronósticos para cuatro elecciones en 2011, el cual ha resultado ser moderadamente alto.
Political Sciences have, for a long time, had an interest in the study of electoral participation due to its theoretical, empirical and methodological relevance. This research seeks to estimate the predictive power of a model of the theory of rational election on the levels of electoral participation in 64 presidential elections of Latin American countries between 1995 and 2010. The findings show that electoral competition, presidential power, majority status, compulsory vote, non-voluntary registration, and voter inertia bear a significant influence on the levels of participation. The predictive power is confirmed through the variability explained by the model and the forecast for four elections in 2011, which has been moderately high.
