LGBT representation in politics and electoral law as an instrument of social inclusion

Abstract

Electoral Law safeguards the right to vote, functioning as a vital tool of democracy and a mechanism for including the LGBT community in political participation. This involvement is crucial, as the democratic system must aim for inclusivity. Although challenges persist in achieving full inclusiveness, the system should endeavor to incorporate all social groups, as broader representation strengthens democratic society. While it is impossible to reach unanimous agreement in democratic decisions, the ability to participate and have a voice is essential. The underrepresentation of the LGBT community leads to minimal state protection, as the government often fails to enact protective legislation and suppresses dissenting voices that oppose the majority in power.
