Abstract

This paper aims to contribute to the study of political violence during the Spanish Second Republic by analyzing one of its lesser-known aspects, electoral violence. This is an important factor to understand how it was articulated in interparty competition during those years. The article deals with electoral violence during the two elections that repond to a pattern of movement typical of interwar democracy: the general elections of 1933 and 1936. It does this by providing new data on the type, frequency and impact of this kind of violence and comparing it to other countries.
