This study examines the social logics of the Yopougon population's abstention from voting in the 2015 presidential election. The study used a dual qualitative and quantitative approach with appropriate survey tools, namely semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire addressed to a category of actors. This has allowed us to achieve the following results: The combination of socio-anthropological, rational, institutional and conjunctural factors are as much decisive for the successful conduct of an election. The socio-political actors of Yopougon, through the systems of relations, participate in the construction of electoral abstentionism. The exclusion of certain social categories deconstructs any will and leads them to refrain from any electoral activities. In short, electoral absenteeism, a manifestation of the crisis of democracy, is explained by a lack of trust between the population and political actors
