Best Answer

Voter turnout is usually quite low here in the States. I believe there are two primary reasons: (1) Most people here cannot recall a time when the public's right to vote was seriously challenged. We've never been forced to do without it so we take it for granted. (2) We are accustomed to getting candidates who are mediocre at best. Most elections seem to be a decision of who is the lesser of two evils. It seems that the community personalities with the most integrity, those who would be worth getting excited about, do not want to bother with politics.

(3) Also contributing to a lesser degree is the fact that our biennial federal elections are always on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday, Sunday or holiday.
