Sumario:[EN]This article investigates whether citizens reward those politicians who achieve better results in public management with re-election. It analyses the last three electoral processes in Spanish local governments, a period that runs from the beginning of the economic crisis (2007) to the last municipal elections (2019). For periods of financial crisis, the results indicate a higher probability of reelection for governments that have better managed public services. In periods of economic growth, citizens do not take into account the capacity that rulers have shown in public management.
