Elegimos para repetir. elecciones atípicas y su realidad en Colombia

Abstract

Colombia has a democratic system considered stable, however, in this article we will analyze the electoral legal regime and the controls indicated in the law to exercise positions as mayors and governors, within a practical and real context where we intend to point out that these are not strict and not previously opportune, and that the elected representatives have been involved in administrative or criminal proceedings, for reasons of electoral invalidity or subjective disabilities that could be foreseen at the time of registration, and that have generated absolute vacancies, which lead to the development of a new electoral process, called atypical, that is, on a different date than that established in the ordinary electoral calendar, with investment of public resources again, without there being fiscal and disciplinary responsibility or even possibly criminal, for those who with "presumed intent", they register as candidates and are elected without fully meeting the legal requirements.
