4/ This is important especially in Chile 🇨🇱, where such a limit has been imposed in 2020. The country has recently experienced a surge in turnover rates due to changes in the electoral system. As such, it is a great example of the effects of institutional engineering on legislative turnover.

3/ Using multilevel regression models, we make several findings. Longer legislative terms, changes in chamber size and staggered elections all increase turnover. Unsurprisingly, limiting re-election to 3 or 4 subsequent parliamentary elections substantially increases legislative turnover.

2/ Latin American countries experience extremely high legislative turnover. On average, only 3 in 10 legislators are elected to serve a subsequent term. However, this varies greatly as Chile experiences 53% turnover, while Bolivia has 85%, making it almost a complete renewal with each election.

1/ Which institutional determinants affect legislative turnover in Latin America? Using electoral data since 1985, @karelkouba.bsky.social and myself tackle this question #OpenAccess in the newest issue of Latin American Politics and Society.
