Active and Passive Voting Rights: Interrelation and Constitutional Regulation

The paper focuses on the constitutional connection between active and passive voting rights, a necessity that objectively arises when analyzing and scientifically characterizing the nature and essence of these rights. The paper demonstrates the complexity of the constitutional relationship between active and passive voting rights, which involves the simultaneous existence and mutual overlap of several types of connections: the unifying connection; the causal connection; the connection of states; correspondence between the consequences of a single cause; and correspondence between the consequences of different causes. The conclusion is substantiated by explanations regarding how doctrinal identification, differentiation, and interpretation of the aforementioned types of constitutional connections between active and passive voting rights can be used to achieve the goals of constitutional-legal regulation of electoral relations, as well as constitutional norm control.
