Analisa o impacto na legitimidade das eleições dos votos em branco, votos nulos e abstenções, ora compreendidas como práticas de alheamento eleitoral, na concepção de Paola Naves Ramos (2009), para quem grupos específicos tentam se insurgir contra o sistema político por meio do boicote eleitoral, adotando práticas de não-participação. À luz da teoria da desobediência civil, considerando episódios em Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais) e São Paulo (São Paulo), a análise utiliza-se do método hipotético-indutivo, elaborado por Karl Popper (1993), segundo o qual hipóteses verossímeis permitem o conhecimento de resultados extensíveis a todo o universo em questão. Por este percurso, apresenta-se o resultado de que o alheamento eleitoral não causa impacto à legitimidade das eleições, porque, conforme se demonstra na conclusão, a revolta praticada pelo não comparecimento às urnas está dentro das regras do jogo e tem um efeito que pode causar impacto, no máximo, simbólico, sem repercutir em maiores danos à legitimidade dos candidatos eleitos. 2021-06-18T14:53:36Z 2021-06-18T14:53:36Z 2020 Artigo FERREIRA, Raphael Rodrigues; BORGES, Gabriel Augusto Mendes; SILVA, Adriana Campos.

In the light of the theory of civil disobedience, considering episodes in Belo Horizonte (Minas Gerais) and São Paulo (São Paulo), the analysis uses the hypothetical-inductive method, elaborated by Karl Popper (1993), according to whom credible hypotheses allow the knowledge of results that can be extended to all universe in question.
