A participação do analfabeto no processo eleitoral

Abstract

Report the participation of illiterate in the electoral process, both in terms of his right of vote as his, until now absent, right of be voted. Demonstrate, through a historical analysis, their achievements and setbacks obtained in the electoral process over the years and the various Federal Constitutions, resulting in his current optional right of vote and his ineligibility before the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Complementary Law number 64/90. Clarifies and emphasizes the importance of a more effective participation of illiterate in this process, before the current vision of democracy, increasingly aimed at inclusion and not at exclusion. Criticizes the current model and therefore concludes that, on behalf of a electoral process more democratical and inclusive, must increase the participation of the illiterate in this process, so that they are conferred the same rights and duties as other citizens.
