Description: During each electoral period, the strategic interaction between voters and political elites determines the number of viable candidates in a district. In this paper, the authors implement a hierarchical seemingly unrelated regression model to explain electoral coordination at the district level in Uruguay as a function of district magnitude, previous electoral outcomes and electoral regime.
