VELEZ RENDON, Juan Carlos. Parochial voters and electors. The relative openness of the world of electoral politics in Antioquia, 1821-1848. Co-herencia [online]. 2019, vol.16, n.31, pp.185-220. ISSN 1794-5887.  https://doi.org/10.17230/co-herencia.16.31.6.

This paper examines the electoral participation in Antioquia during the first years of republican life, in order to establish the scope of the political openness fostered by the implementation of the so-called popular sovereignty. The main focus of the paper is on parish voters and electors, as well as on the debates on criteria to be met in order to be elected for representative positions, with the aim of showing the validity of ancient powers and values in an unprecedented political sphere driven by the influence of republican and liberal ideas.

Keywords : Elections; parochial voters; electors; political openness; Antioquia.
