摘要 In 2020 and 2021, Taiwan and South Korea held mayoral by-elections in their second-largest cities of Kaohsiung and Busan. In both cases, the former regional ruling parties reclaimed control of their stronghold cities. How did voters perceive representative democracy during this unusual political era? An analysis of survey data reveals that while voters in Kaohsiung who supported the winning candidates were more likely to believe that the political process was responsive, this pattern did not hold in Busan. These varying results suggest that winning voters under a vertically divided government like that of Busan may be skeptical of local governance, a phenomenon which mediates the link between electoral success and satisfaction with democracy.
