“…36 A popular performative mechanism located within constitutions is preambles, which as an expressive component can 'narrate the nation's past and envision its future'. 37 King has noted that such devices can provide 'normative guidance and the institutional declaration of key variables', 38 while Levinson states that they express 'the ostensible "essence" of the people or nation', and on occasion can be 'inspiring'. 39 Even though the 'justiciability' of preambles within states remains relatively low, it is the expressive elements of these intriguing devices that scholars-and indeed many countries-have found so empowering, and therefore so useful.…”

Champions of constitutions and bills of rights regularly portray them as possessing significant, sometimes mysterious, powers. One characterisation is that newly implemented constitutions may invigorate a democracy, particularly at the ballot box. This paper challenges that notion by scrutinising a relatively unexplored area of constitutional performance: voter turnout. In particular, it examines a number of jurisdictions that have recently implemented constitutions and bill of rights, finding that in many of them, voter turnout decreased after passage, sometimes significantly. As the argument for a codified British constitution endures, the findings of this paper provide provisional evidence that those advocating for such a device should be wary of touting its potentially invigorating democratic effects. Ultimately, however, the paper calls for more research into the area of constitutions and democratic performance, such as voter turnout.
