In this work, it points out the importance of formal mechanisms for citizen participation as a form of socio-state relationship in a democratic system is noted. Citizenship associates its participation with the materialization of the opportunity to vote to elect the president of its nation, beyond that it is not realize the involvement of the participation in the local agenda could obtain a greater scope to combat the lack of credibility and legitimacy that exists in the system of government itself. Although it is true that they exist diverse mechanisms, and it is also true that the citizenship does not know how to use them or does not find them interesting. On the other hand, there is not an active stimulation in government initiatives to bring a change in the perception of the citizens through these mechanisms; therefore, it is necessary to study in a reflective way to what the citizens face to make use of their rights through the formal mechanisms of citizen participation and the extent that is has in the democratic systems.
