- Abstract
This paper analyzes the role of space in the understanding of abstentionism in the elections for federal deputies between 1994 and 2012. First, t he Moran Index is used and the spatial independence hypothesis is refuted; then spatial regression techniques are used to show how the inclusion of space can alter statistical relations between abstention and independent variables; finally, electoral cartography is used to show possible case of studies that lead to new theories that could later diminish the relevance of the spatial factor.
