Abstentionism is standing for election to a deliberative assembly while refusing to take up any seats won or otherwise participate in the assembly’s business. Abstentionism differs from an election boycott in that abstentionists participate in the election itself. Abstentionism has been used by Irish republican political movements in the United Kingdom and Ireland since the early 19th century.
