| Sumario: | The Mexican federal elections of the 5 of July of 2009 constitute a referring one of first order in the process of democratic consolidation. In Mexico the theory of the transitions to the democracy does not count on an orthodox application. The Mexican case registers a phenomenon of simultaneity between transition and consolidation. This determines that, in conceptual terms, clarity cannot exist. On the other hand, the political-electoral participation directly is connected with the conformation of a democratic political culture. The phenomenon of the non-participation must be understood like an integral part of the political-electoral behavior of more of 45% of the voters enrolled in the nominal electoral list. The referred election constitutes a challenge of scientific explanation and protests to be taken care of. |
