Political legitimacy appeals to a subjective substrate that compromises the two extremes
of a relationship. From the perspective of those who must obey, it will be legitimate for
a government to access power and exercise in compliance with the requirements that
they believe they must meet to send. From the perspective of the person in charge, the
government that accesses power and what it exercises will be conceived as legitimate,
seeing what it obeys that meets the requirements to command. The elections defined the
right to access power and invariably the recognition of the cleanliness of the elections
depends on whether their results coincide with the specific policies of the individual.
There are four conditions that could be established to separate the elections
whose results are controversial from those that are not: one, the effective guarantees of
respect for the integrity of the losers and for the subsequent unhindered participation of
the contestants in political life; two, the narrowness of the difference between the result
and the requirements established to grant the victory; three, the provision of timely,
continuous, transparent and verifiable information mechanisms on the results, such as
the collection of preliminary electoral results and statistical rapid counting exercises
that anticipate the distribution of votes within known margins of precision; and four,
maintain an electoral authority that can be an arbitrator who exercises his functions
impartially, by not representing the interests of any party or being against any party.
