Summary: The work involving the conduct of an election have been improved considerably. With the implementation of the electronic ballot the voting process has become Brazilian icon of modernity for their reliability and speed. To increase the quality of services to the population during elections, the Electoral Justice is encouraging voluntary participation in the voting process to ensure that the obligatory convocation doesn‟t relies upon those who do not want to cooperate. Despite the increase in volunteers, mistakes and bad behavior of election oficials still occurring. To provide a reflection that contributes to a better understanding about the problem and for the improvement of management practices involved, it was proposed to analyze the subjective senses that emerge from the volunteers in the voting process. We adopted as the theoretical framework of Cultural-Historical Theory study of the subjectivity of Rey was sought from a historical, socio-cultural elements redeem that characterize the context of political development and democratic Brazil. We tried to embrace concepts, trends, concepts, and specific difficulties related to the issue of voluntary participation. The institutional environment was described to make known the practices adopted and the progress of the project " election oficials voluntary." The study included 11 election oficials, who worked in the elections of 2008, the 55th Election Zone City of Vila Velha / ES. The research is bibliography, documentation and can be considered a case study. The instruments used were the open questionnaire, the construction of sentences, the writing and the individual and group conversation. The analysis and construction of information were guided by the Qualitative Epistemology developed by Rey. The subjective senses found were grouped into 05 sections: "discredited", "social change", "moral obligation / social", "personal satisfaction" and "private benefits" . It‟s concluded that the senses are subjective election oficials that relates to their participation to promote, or not, committed and responsible behavior during the performance. Regarding management practices, there is a need for several adjustments in order to enable the recognition and appreciation of their participation, and maintenance of volunteers and strengthening the relationship between Justice and Electoral election oficials.
