This paper analyses the effect of an unconditional cash transfer program, provided by a local government in Mexico, on the voting behavior of its direct beneficiaries. Using a list experiment that employs data from an original survey conducted in Guadalajara, Mexico, we explore if being a beneficiary of the program is a significant issue to cast a vote. The analysis shows that voters are indeed influenced in their voting decisions by being beneficiaries of a social program. The main result of this study indicates that 16 percent of the beneficiaries considered the receipt of the social program in their voting decision.
