The abstention of a large part of the voting population could be a symptom of a «genetic mutation» of the representative democracy. In this study, using data results of the 2008 and 2013 elections, we analyzed the geographical distribution of this behavior. Traditionally, electoral studies use values expressed as a percentage that tends to «cancel out» the effects of abstention on electoral results. This «neutralization» seems less effective if we consider abstention not only in terms of its impact but also as an electoral strength.
