Abstract
El presente trabajo tiene como objeto de estudio la medida legal que establece cuotas electorales para cada sexo en las candidaturas electorales. Se analizan los argumentos que se refieren a la supuesta vulneración de los derechos fundamentales de sufragio pasivo, activo, de libertad ideológica/de expresión y de asociación. La investigación ha tenido en cuenta especialmente la Sentencia 49/2003, de 10 de febrero, de la Corte Constitucional italiana y la Sentencia 12/2008, de 29 de enero, del Tribunal Constitucional español, ambas sobre la constitucionalidad de ciertas medidas legales que establecieron cuotas electorales en los respectivos países
This work is concerned with the legislation that establishes a gender-based quota system on the electoral lists. The arguments that refer to a supposed violation of active and passive’s fundamental right of suffrage and freedom of ideology/expression and association were analyzed. This study was based mainly according to the decision 49/2003, given on the 10th of February by the Italian Constitutional Court and decision 12/2008, given on the 29th of January by the Spanish Constitutional Tribunal. Both decisions are related to the constitutionality of certain laws that have established electoral gender-based quotas in these countries
