description The aim of this article is to identify whether the electoral abstention in Tijuana presents particularities given its border location and the time of residence of its citizens, as well as the characteristics of its political culture. Two sources were used for this study: a) electoral statistics for the period 1988-2016 to account for abstention trends, and b) the analysis of the results of a representative survey of the municipality. With these sources, indices and a logistical regression were developed to examine citizen opinions regarding the meaning of voting, political parties, and their ideological leanings. This study is relevant due to the growing trend towards abstention, which already is a serious and substantive problem for local electoral democracy. In political culture, native abstentionists consider voting as a form of expression regarding the functioning of the political system, and immigrant abstentionists show differential tendencies according to residence time.

El objetivo de este artículo es identificar si la abstención electoral en Tijuana presenta particularidades dada su ubicación fronteriza y el tiempo de residencia de sus ciudadanos, así como las características de su cultura política. Se utilizan dos fuentes para su estudio: a) la estadística electoral en el periodo 1988-2016 para contar con las tendencias de la abstención, y b) el análisis de los resultados de una encuesta representativa del municipio. Con ellas, se elaboraron índices y una regresión logística para examinar las opiniones ciudadanas acerca del significado del voto, los partidos políticos y su ubicación ideológica. Este estudio es relevante dada la tendencia al incremento de la abstención, siendo ya un problema sustantivo grave para la democracia electoral de la localidad. En la cultura política, los abstencionistas nativos consideran el voto como una forma de expresión respecto del funcionamiento del sistema político y los abstencionistas inmigrantes presentan tendencias diferenciadas acorde al tiempo de residencia.
