Term limits may also impact voters’ rights in another respect. Arguably, the possibility of re-election helps to guarantee accountability, so a ban or restrictions on re-election affects the right and the capacity of citizens to hold those in power accountable. From this point of view, restrictions on re-election or term limit affect directly one of the foundations of a democracy: the capacity to choose representatives freely, by popular vote, without restraints. In presidential regimes, term limits are interpreted as a form of control of political power, as they work as an embedded elimination of political monopolies, producing change of government and strengthening electoral competitiveness.
