| Sumario: | Recently, there has been a substantial increase in studies on the effect of criminal violence on electoral and non-electoral political participation in different contexts. This paper aims to contribute to the discussion of how criminal violence can affect the rate of electoral participation, through the study of the 31 municipalities that make up one of the regions with the highest presence of criminal groups in Mexico: Tierra Caliente. Using a multilevel regression model, it is tested that the negative effect of violence on voter turnout is not statistically significant. Although this finding does not coincide with that of most previous research, there is some work that has reached the same conclusions, which invites us to explore new hypotheses on the relationship between violence and voter turnout. In addition, it is found that the concurrence of local elections with federal or governor elections have a significant influence on the number of citizens who decide to go to the polls on the election day. |
