description Pedregal de Santo Domingo is one of the most populated and emblematic neighborhoods in the Coyoacán municipality (Mexico City). This article shows the electoral behavior of the neighborhood and the local government through a statistical and geographical analysis that includes the federal electoral processes of 2012 and 2018 that elected president, senators, and deputies. The information comes from the Electoral Institute of Mexico City and confirms the centre-left tradition (a historical feature in this area), even if it transits from the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD) to the National Regeneration Movement (Morena). This change implied an increase in electoral competition and political fragmentation that explains the dynamism that characterizes urban spaces in the electoral sphere. This article considers that social space replicates electoral behavior, an idea that feeds into the sociological theory of voting.

Este artículo muestra el comportamiento electoral de dicho barrio y alcaldía mediante un análisis estadístico y geográfico que incluye los procesos electorales federales de 2012 y 2018, en los que se escogían los cargos para presidente de la república, senadores y diputados. Se tomó información del Instituto Electoral de la Ciudad de México. Se confirma la tradición de centro-izquierda que caracteriza históricamente a la zona, aun cuando transita del Partido de la Revolución Democrática (PRD) al Movimiento Regeneración Nacional (Morena). Esto implicó el aumento de la competitividad electoral y la fragmentación política que, a su vez, explica la dinamicidad que caracteriza a los espacios urbanos en el ámbito electoral. El presente artículo considera que el espacio social se refleja en el comportamiento electoral, una idea que nutre la teoría sociológica del voto.  Instituto de Altos Estudios Nacionales IAEN 2023-07-15 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Artículos evaluados por doble pares ciegos application/pdf text/html application/epub+zip https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/328 10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n17.2023.328 Estado & comunes; Vol. 2 No. 17 (2023): Quality of democracy: political regime, government and rights; 105-124 Estado & comunes; Vol. 2 Núm. 17 (2023): Calidad de la democracia: régimen político, gobierno y derechos; 105-124 2477-9245 1390-8081 10.37228/estado_comunes.v2.n17.2023 spa https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/328/541 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/328/542 https://revistas.iaen.edu.ec/index.php/estado_comunes/article/view/328/543 Derechos de autor 2023 Guillermo Lizama Carrasco, Alfredo Pastén Hernández
