This chapter examines whether elections change citizen's attitudes and behaviors toward democracy, and whether what matters in this process is repeated experience of elections over time, or whether the integrity of contests also matters. The chapter concludes that elections do matter by shaping how Africans see democracy working and that the quality of the contests shapes these attitudes, not just repeated experience of elections.
