Description
Summary:The research falls within the theoretical framework of Electoral Law, as an area of knowledge of Constitutional Law. The right to vote is a basic architectural element of the constitutional clause of a Democratic State. The right to vote is a subjective right, but it is also a key part in the context of that Democratic State clause, insofar as, without elections—and therefore without the right to vote—there is no room for renovation and the resulting continuity of the institutional system on which Democracy lies. Moreover, participation by means of a referendum is also electoral activity which grants recognition and jurisdictional protection to the right to vote.
