Keywords:
Democracy, political parties, electionsAbstract
The process of citizen participation in the election of their representatives in Central America begins with the celebration of the Courts of Cadiz in Spain. Since then the road has been hard on all countries in the region, each with its own peculiarities, but all very similar advances and setbacks.
The historical review of the strengthening of democracy in Central America is the focus of this essay which begins precisely with the call for the election of representatives to the Courts of Cadiz in 1810, until the electoral reforms generated by the constitutional court and begun the Century XXI.
In this paper the electoral experiences of the nineteenth century are examined and the struggles between liberals and conservatives, to result in the 20th century where the demands for universal suffrage and the vote for women precede armed guerrilla movements fighting against rebels military dictatorships, in the context of the Cold War and the USA / USSR confrontation.
