Women’s Vote in the Dominican Republic
摘要
This chapter examines the gap in participation levels and voting orientation between Dominican women and Dominican men from 2012 to 2020. By analysing individual data, we reveal how gender differences have diminished over time and how various sociodemographic, cultural, and political factors differentially influence women’s voting behaviour. This disparity was evident in the 2012 and 2016 elections, with women’s participation surpassing that of men in the latter. However, this gap diminished in the 2020 elections. The analysis draws on data from the Latin American Public Opinion Project (LAPOP) survey across multiple waves and employs binary and multinomial logistic regression techniques.
