Sumario:Electoral abstentionism is harmful to democratic countries, unfortunately, it is increasingly occurring. This practice is adopted, as a form of disagree-ment, however, it is not a right; therefore, the objective is to show that elec-toral abstentionism is not the most efficient option to manifest disagreement with governments nor does it have effects of change. The foregoing with a methodology where a data collection technique from a documentary source was applied mainly in cybernetic media, under the criteria of using only information with a scientific precedent and with no more than 5 years of publication. The information collected was subjected to an analysis of quali-tative results, where the content was examined in four phases, categorizing democratic and “mixed” countries; structuring those that force voting and those that do not, later contrasting them and concluding that there are more efficient citizen participation practices as means of protest.
