RESUMO: Socialmente relevante, o comportamento político é assunto de interesse da Psicologia Social, mas ainda é pouco estudado no contexto de adolescentes e suas experiências subjetivas. Este artigo aborda as representações sociais elaboradas por adolescentes escolares acerca das eleições e os aspectos políticos que a envolvem. Participaram do estudo 129 adolescentes com idades entre 16 e 18 anos incompletos, os quais responderam à associação livre de palavras (política, político, eleições, voto), cuja análise fatorial de correspondência foi realizada pelo Tri-Deux-Mots. O saber compartilhado pelos adolescentes foi organizado em função do tipo de escola, nível de interesse político, sexo e opinião dos estudantes quanto ao voto facultativo. As evocações evidenciaram consensos e dissensos sobre o objeto social, destacando ambiguidades que revelam a dinâmica política da realidade social.
Palavras-chave: representações sociais; eleições; política; voto; adolescentes.
