Abstract:	Large literatures focus on voter reactions to parties' policy strategies, agency, or legislative performance. While many inquiries make explicit assumptions about the direction and magnitude of voter flows between parties, comparative empirical analyses of vote switching remain rare. In this paper, we overcome three challenges that have previously impeded the comparative study of dynamic party competition based on voter flows: We present a novel conceptual framework for studying voter retention, defection, and attraction in multi-party systems, showcase a newly compiled data infrastructure that marries comparative vote switching data with information on party behavior and party systems in over 250 electoral contexts, and introduce a statistical model that renders our conceptual framework operable. These innovations enable first-time inquiries into the polyadic vote switching patterns underlying multi-party competition and unlock major research potentials on party competition and party system change.
