We estimate the effect of participation in a large antipoverty program in Colombia on turnout and electoral choice. Using variation in the proportion of beneficiaries across voting booths within a polling station and eligibility as an instrument for take-up, we find that in the 2010 presidential elections, enrolled women were more likely to vote and support the incumbent party candidate. Results for men are smaller and not always significant. Voters respond to targeted transfers, and women, as the direct recipients of the transfers, respond more strongly. Potential mechanisms explaining the results are civic engagement and gratitude toward the incumbent party.

现金和选票：有条件转移、政治参与和投票行为

我们估计了参与哥伦比亚大型反贫困计划对投票率和选举选择的影响。使用投票站内各投票站的受益人比例的变化以及作为参与工具的资格，我们发现在 2010 年总统选举中，已登记​​的女性更有可能投票和支持现任政党候选人。男性的结果较小，并不总是显着。选民对有针对性的转移作出反应，而妇女作为转移的直接接受者，反应更为强烈。解释结果的潜在机制是公民参与和对现任党的感激。
