Electoral consultation as a mechanism for consolidating citizenship and strengthening constitutional culture

Abstract

The election is both a manifestation and a tool of democratic practice, as it embodies the democratic nature of the exercise of power at central and local levels. It also ensures the peaceful transfer of power, which allows the consolidation of political power and social stability. The stability of the state leads to the consolidation of rights and freedoms, which strengthens the character of citizenship. The citizen's sense of their citizenship rights leads them to pay attention to public affairs, whether at the national or local level. Most Western democracies suffer from the problem of reluctance to vote, as this constituted the core interest of the political and educated class, given the resulting fluctuation in political and social stability. What is the importance of the various electoral consultations for the social and political structure of the state? What electoral systems are supported for citizen recruitment? What are the implications of the failure/or success of the legal and political system in properly embodying electoral consultations on the future of the state?
