To what extent are legislators, responsible for the implementation of many peace agreements, responsive to citizens’ preferences? Examining the 2016 Colombian peace agreement, we embed an experiment in the 2019 wave of a survey of all the members of Congress. We inform legislators about the attitudes of the general population and residents of conflict-affected regions on a provision included in the peace agreement: the creation of 16 special seats in the House of Representatives reserved for conflict areas. We find that legislators underestimate citizen support for this policy, and the magnitude of their misconception is correlated with the positions of their parties on the issue. Moreover, we find that providing information about citizens’ support for the policy does not affect legislator support for the provision.

负责执行许多和平协议的立法者在多大程度上响应公民的偏好？检查 2016 年哥伦比亚和平协议，我们在 2019 年对所有国会议员的调查浪潮中嵌入了一项实验。我们向立法者通报受冲突影响地区的普通民众和居民对和平协议中一项条款的态度：在众议院中为冲突地区保留 16 个特别席位。我们发现立法者低估了公民对这项政策的支持，他们误解的程度与其政党在这个问题上的立场相关。此外，我们发现提供有关公民对该政策的支持的信息并不影响立法者对该条款的支持。
