This paper examines electoral coordination and competition in plural societies. It provides a theoretical explanation by incorporating identity politics into a game-theoretical model of candidate entry and electoral competition. The author finds that the demographic composition of a polity has an effect on the number of candidates that can be supported in electoral equilibria under plurality and majority runoff electoral rules.
