Winning mayoral incumbents: Election violence, term-limited performance, and the unfortunate legacy of district proliferation

What actions might mayoral incumbents undertake to enhance their chances of re-election and how well do they perform if they do gain an additional term in office? I study these questions for Indonesia during the country’s second round of direct local elections, which were rolled out starting in 2010. I argue that mayoral incumbents were more likely to use violence in the run-up to elections to win another term of office compared to other candidates and I present some supporting evidence.
