  abstract = {This book explains why Japanese municipal elections—especially in smaller communities—can attract higher turnout than national elections, reversing a common pattern in other democracies. It develops a rational-choice account centered on election significance and vote significance, then evaluates the argument with cross-level and cross-national quantitative evidence. The analysis connects electoral institutions and incentives to political participation in comparative perspective.}
