RESUMO: Este estudo construído a partir de uma pesquisa qualitativa exploratória busca compreender as representações sociais sobre a participação política dos idosos em Portugal e no Brasil. Para delimitar o estudo foram escolhidas duas regiões, Braga em Portugal e Santa Maria no Brasil. Aplicou-se entrevistas semiestruturadas à 29 idosos (pessoas com mais de 60 anos) 14 em Braga e 15 em Santa Maria. As análises dos dados tiveram como embasamento a Teoria das Representações Sociais, conforme proposta por Serge Moscovici e a técnica de Análise de Conteúdo proposta por Laurence Bardin. Encontrou-se que há distinções nas formas de significar a participação em cada país e a interpretação e o sentimento dos idosos portugueses e brasileiros é de que não os querem presentes nos espaços de representação política.
