title = "Can electronic voting shape election outcomes in developing countries?: Evidence from Peru",
abstract = "This paper estimates the impact of the introduction of electronic voting technology on Municipal elections in Peru. Using a territorial regression discontinuity design, we estimate the impact on valid votes, and voter turnout. We find that, on average, electronic voting technology decreases blank votes by 1.8 percentage points and invalid votes by 4.4 percentage points. However, it did not have a significant effect on turnout rate. Difference-in-differences estimations and subsequent robustness checks confirm the validity of our results.",
