Abstract: How to explain abstention in elections? Over the last ten years, sociology, political science and geography have tended to converge in terms of analysis of electoral behavior. Abstentionist voting can be considered in two ways. First, in areas where there is a concentration of politically and/or sociologically marginalized populations, there is a higher abstention rate. This hypothesis refers to non-voters who are peripheral to political life (e.g., young people, those with low levels of education or the unemployed, and those whose parties have failed to reach them).
