Voter apathy
Voter apathy refers to a lack of interest or motivation among eligible voters to participate in elections. It often occurs when people feel their vote doesn't make a difference, are dissatisfied with candidates or government, or are disengaged from the political process. This disconnect can lead to lower voter turnout, weakening the legitimacy of democratic systems. Addressing voter apathy involves increasing awareness, improving accessibility, and demonstrating how individual votes impact community and national outcomes.
