Author/s: José Guillermo García Chourio. Venezuela

This article shows by means of a description of some municipal public consultations realized in the last years, the use of above mentioned surveys as political recourses to decision-making with effects of legitimizing or veto on any policies and matters of municipal interest, managing to reach even a binding character.
