ARAYA ALPIZAR, Dr. Carlomagno. Analysis of congressmen elections results and vote failure in Costa Rica 2014: Biplot method application. InterSedes [online]. 2015, vol.16, n.33, pp.39-52. ISSN 2215-2458.

This paper analyzes the results of the election for Members of Costa Rica in 2014, mainly by districts and cantons. The "bankruptcy of the vote" is studied and it is shown that a large number of Costa Rican voters decided not to endorse the same political party for the presidential and legislative voting; this is an indicator of weakening loyalty partisan vote. Costa Ricans showed a preference for Luis Guillermo Solís but limited their power and the Partido Acción Ciudadana(PAC), by failing to provide the majority in the Legislative Assembly. The breakdown of the vote did not disrupt the Acción Ciudadana games but also the Liberación Nacional, Frente Amplio and Movimiento Libertario, benefiting mainly from the Unidad Social Cristiana, Renovación Nacional and Accesibilidad sin Exclusión.

Palabras clave : Costa Rica; national elections; legislative; Biplot.
