If a citizen chooses not to vote, it means they are exercising their right to abstain from participation in an election. In many democratic countries, voting is not compulsory, so there are generally no legal consequences for not voting. However, not voting means that the individual has missed an opportunity to have their voice heard and potentially influence the outcome of an election.
