Abstract

The purpose of the proposed reflection is to inform and clarify the peculiarities that involve the indigenous electoral enlistment for the effective exercise of the right to vote. The Federal Constitution imposes mandatory electoral enlistment and voting expressly in its text. Voting and enlistment, in addition to a civic duty, are inherent rights for citizens so that they can participate effectively in the political direction of their country. Indigenous people have the same rights and duties as any other citizen, so the State cannot create situations or create obstacles that hinder their engagement in the choice of their representatives or in the dispute for an elective political office. Once the constitutional requirements and those provided for in the electoral legislation have been fulfilled, their participation in the construction and strengthening of the young Brazilian democracy is fundamental. The search for greater space in the political field, in addition to constitutional guarantee, proves to be a necessary condition for society to recognize its minimum rights to a dignified existence as an ethical minority. The research is bibliographic and documentary.
