“…1 The existing literature on the vice presidency in Latin America is so scarce that it is possible to cite practically all the existing works: Linz (1988) and Linz and Valenzuela (1994), who touched upon this topic only tangentially while analyzing presidentialism in Latin America; Serrafero (1999;2013;2018), Sribman Mittelman (20112015;2019a;2019b;2021), Mieres (2012), Mieres and Pampín (2015), Bidegain (2017), Marsteintredet (2019), Marsteintredet and Uggla (2019), Pignataro and Taylor-Robinson (2019) and Uggla (2020). 2 The Constitutions of Bolivia and Colombia are being thoroughly used as models by the Chilean Constitutional Assembly of 2021.…”

“…This means that parties propose a combination of candidates with profiles attractive to different segments of the electorate. In this sense, it has been found that age, race and even ideology are elements to be considered when designing the candidate pair (Lopes, 2020; Pignataro and Taylor-Robinson, 2019; Uggla, 2020). This argument is very much in line with the ticket-balancing strategy that parties in PR systems use when designing their lists (Hennl and Kaiser, 2008).…”

Do political duos diminish discriminatory voter preferences? Evidence from a combined conjoint experiment

In Europe, more and more parties and governments are led by a pair of leaders. What consequences does the presence of duos have on voter preferences? I argue that voters have less discriminatory preferences against untraditional candidates when they choose two leaders instead of only one. However, discriminatory preferences do not entirely vanish; rather, traditionally excluded candidates are often relegated to secondary positions, and there exists a certain threshold of tolerated ticket diversity. Through a novel combined conjoint experiment, I find relative support for this conjecture, especially in the case of ethnic minority candidates. In view of the increasing number of new types of leadership, the results of this study have important implications for the study of political behaviour and elite diversity.

Voting for a presidential ticket is a common characteristic that is particular to the majority of presidential systems. When a voter chooses a candidate for president, they are actually also voting for the other person on the ticket, in other words, the potential successor if the mandate is interrupted. Therefore, the selection of the candidate who will run for election alongside the presidential candidate represents an opportunity to nominate someone who can increase the ticket's electorate or increase a possible president's capacity for governance. In the literature there is an absence of systematic studies of these strategies used in the selection of vice-presidential candidates. In order to fill part of this gap, this study proposes a Vice-Presidential Candidate Profile Index (VPCPI), which allows an analysis of the strategies adopted in the selection of running mates. For the case of Brazil after redemocratization, the results were hybrid, in other words, strategies were adopted to select candidates who can help attract votes for the ticket, but who also have political experience to act in future governments.
