There is a large body of literature on clientelism, rent-seeking, corruption, and their impact on the political process—particularly in the context of democratization and voting behavior across various settings. In advanced democracies, corruption plays a less influential role in shaping politics, as democratic theory suggests that political processes tend to reduce corruption in these systems. Studies suggest that corruption affects satisfaction with political systems and democracy and undermines social and political trust across different contexts. Scholars have identified factors such as inequality, age, the generational gap, and corruption as key determinants of social and political trust in both advanced democracies and developing countries. However, the literature pays less attention to how perceptions of corruption affect trust in the electoral process in advanced democracies. This chapter examines the relationship between perceptions of corruption and trust in the electoral process in democratic systems using the World Value Survey (WVS) and the American National Election Survey (ANES). First, the results suggest that citizens who perceive more corruption are less likely to trust the government. Second, higher perceptions of corruption are associated with lower trust in election officials. Ultimately, perceived corruption among government officials discourages voter participation in elections. This chapter suggests that, unlike the individual level, perception of corruption at the systemic level does not affect voting behavior.
