What is the nonvoting problem and what is its scope?
The nonvoting problem refers to the phenomenon where eligible voters choose not to participate in elections, often due to factors such as apathy, disenfranchisement, or logistical challenges like lack of access to polling places. Its scope encompasses various demographics, including young voters, low-income individuals, and marginalized groups, leading to underrepresentation in electoral outcomes. This issue can undermine the democratic process, as decisions may not reflect the will of the broader population.
