A recent survey shows that 80% of Colombians who say they voted in the 2006 elections do not remember who they voted for!
The investigation, made by Corpovisionarios, also shows that voting abstention is relatively higher in big urban areas, close to 70% – while the total abstention rate usually is about 50%.
Speaking about abstention, if there should be a referendum on reelection, just 45% say that they would vote. And of those, 83% are in favour of reelection. In this case abstention is not just a result of ignorance or indifference, it is also the most effective way to prevent reelection.

Note: Most surveys and opinion polls use telephone interviews on fixed lines, usually only in the largest cities: Bogotá, Medellín, Cali, Barranquilla. Thus rural and poor people are excluded, and results are not ... very reliable.
