Why democracies requires voters?

This is a difficult question because there are so many different types of democracy, but I will answer in the context of liberal democracies since this question falls under the category 'US Constitution'. Basically democracy is a form of government founded upon the rule of the people (sometimes referred to as 'will of the people', 'voice of the people', vox populi). It contrasts with governments based on the rule of the few (oligarchy) or the rule of one person (monarchy). Voting is a form of political expression that allows each individual citizen of the state to decide who is elected into government. There are, however, very different systems of voting. For example, the USA and UK do not have compulsory voting, whereas in Australia voting is compulsory. They each have various reasons for why they believe their system is more democratic than the other. In the USA and UK for example, they may argue that compulsory voting encroaches upon civil liberties and therefore undermines the liberalism of liberal democracies. However, in a non-compulsory voting system, depending on the number of voters that turn up to the ballot box a government may be elected on less than 10% of the actual total number of citizens, which severely questions the elected government's claim to being the voice of the people.
