Abstract
El presente artículo analiza las consecuencias de la violencia y la inseguridad sobre la democracia, circunscribiendo el análisis a la participación electoral en elecciones presidenciales en el caso de México. Se pretende descubrir si la violencia y la inseguridad condicionan el hecho de que los ciudadanos voten o se abstengan. Se plantean varias hipótesis afirmando que tanto indicadores objetivos como subjetivos de la seguridad afectan la intención de voto. Para su comprobación, se utiliza una metodología cuantitativa y el Barómetro de las Américas 2019. Tras someter a prueba empírica las hipótesis, se confirma que la ocurrencia de asesinatos en el barrio sí condiciona la decisión de votar o abstenerse en unas futuras elecciones presidenciales. Ello muestra que el voto por cuestiones de seguridad tendría carácter sociotrópico.
