O direito de não votar : uma análise crítica à obrigatoriedade do voto.

Abstract

This monographic work aims to present a critical analysis about the mandatory right to vote, seeking to demonstrate the possibility and viability of the optionality of voting in Brazil. In this way, under the premise of the existence of the right not to vote, through an analysis of the basic precepts of the right to vote, passing through concepts of electoral and constitutional law, as well as carrying out a brief analysis of data, the aim is to present a critical analysis to the context in which compulsory voting is based, in order to demonstrate the fragility of this base, as well as the space for optionality. To achieve this objective, a bibliographic research was carried out, deducing, through such research, the confirmation of the formulated hypothesis, using, therefore, the hypothetical-deductive model. In this way, it can be said that the guiding concepts of the right to vote are mainly supported by the freedom to vote, so that it is evident that the optional vote would consist of an extension of democracy. Finally, it is imperative to emphasize that this monograph does not intend to exhaust the subject, nor to present a conclusion in the sense that the optional vote is the ideal model, but to establish a necessary debate about a right that is so important for the advancement of democracy.
