Abstract
Models of electoral agency address the levels of discipline and selec-

tion that voters can acheive in elections. The models are demanding

in terms of individual belief-formation and consistency of behavior.

We investigate a baseline model of electoral agency in a controlled

laboratory environment. This baseline model, although simple, forms

the central plank of more complex electoral agency models. Our de-

sign seeks to limit the behavioral impact of social preferences. We

nd little support for the baseline model in our data. However, simple

(nonrational) learning rules explain behavioral patterns well. Simula-

tions indicate that non-rational learning drives behavior most force-

fully towards equilibrium in situations that are favorable to Bayesian

updating.
