espanolLa revocatoria de mandato es un mecanismo de la democracia directa que permite destituir un puesto de eleccion popular. En la actualidad, con base en lo estimado en el Codigo Municipal, se permite la destitucion por revocatoria de mandato de las autoridades municipales. No obstante, a pesar de ser una herramienta para la ciudadania, en la practica su aplicacion tiene lo que se conoce como “trampa electoral”. Por un lado, si participa poca gente, los porcentajes para ganar son mayores a lo establecido por la ley; pero por otro, si la participacion es elevada, los votos nominales necesarios para una destitucion son desproporcionalmente mayores a los alcanzados para la eleccion. A partir de un analisis social, legal, politico y estadistico, el articulo presenta una serie de propuestas para renovar la figura de la revocatoria de mandato, entre las que se encuentra la aplicacion de nuevos criterios para la eleccion, especificamente para el puesto de la alcaldia, al sugerir que la opcion de destitucion obtenga un voto mas que los alcanzados en su designacion y que esta supere por mayoria simple a la otra opcion electoral EnglishThe revocation of mandate is a mechanism of direct democracy, which allows removing from office, a person who holds a popular election post. Currently, based on what is established in the Municipal Code, removal from office is allowed by revocation of mandate of municipal authorities. Nonetheless, in spite of being a tool for the citizens, its application, in practice, has what is known as an “electoral trap”. On the one hand, if just a few people participate, the percentages to win are higher than the ones established by law; on the other hand, if turnout is high, the nominal votes necessary for the removal are disproportionately higher than those obtained for the election. Based on a statistical, political, legal and social analysis, the article presents a series of proposals to renew the figure of revocation of mandate. One of these proposals is the application of new criteria for the election, specifically for the post of Mayor, suggesting that the removal from office option may get one more vote than those obtained in the appointment and that this designation defeats the other electoral option by simple majority
