The increasing use of technological tools, have gained significant importance, including social media. In the field of politics is no different, since after the 2008 U.S. elections the use of these tools became crucial in campaigns. Several studies have turned to this theme, however, many of them investigate how politicians used them, whether to mobilize voters, generate more participation and/or engagement. In addition, field researchers say that recent investigations are only turning to the context of political agents, deprecating the reality of voters. In view of this movement found in the literature, this study aimed to present and discuss scientific production, during the period from 2008 to 2020, on the themes: social media, elections and voters. The survey points to a difference in the number of surveys conducted between the scenarios, as well as indicates different ways for surveys to be developed in the context of voters.
