Voter apathy refers to a lack of interest or motivation among eligible voters to participate in elections. This phenomenon can result in lower voter turnout, which may affect the overall representation of the population in the democratic process. Factors contributing to voter apathy include feelings of disillusionment with political candidates, a belief that individual votes do not matter, and a lack of awareness about the issues at stake. Many people may feel overwhelmed by the complexities of the political system or may not have access to information about candidates and issues. Additionally, social and economic factors, such as income level and education, can influence a person's likelihood to engage in voting. Addressing voter apathy is essential for ensuring a healthy democracy.
