I examine how voters perceive gender differences in vote buying, using survey and interview data collected in the Dar es Salaam region, Tanzania. I find that (1) an overwhelming majority of voters disapprove of vote buying, yet view it as remaining prevalent, and (2) they view men as more active vote buyers, mainly due to the gender gap in vote-buying opportunities. The perceived opportunity gap appears to come from a much larger representation of men in electoral competitions, the perceived gender gap in resources, and the absence of women in certain places and times, due to social and cultural norms constraining women’s behaviours, safety concerns, and/or household responsibilities.

选民对购买选票中性别差异的看法：坦桑尼亚的案例

我使用在坦桑尼亚达累斯萨拉姆地区收集的调查和访谈数据来研究选民如何看待投票购买中的性别差异。我发现 (1) 绝大多数选民不赞成购买选票，但认为它仍然普遍存在，以及 (2) 他们认为男性是更积极的选票购买者，这主要是由于购买选票机会的性别差异。由于社会和文化规范限制了妇女的行为、安全问题和/或家庭责任。
