If this question refers to the United States I can answer it this way. An elected official at the State or Federal level must be in touch with her or his constituents. One way to do that is to respond to letters, petitions or even phone calls. At the governmental levels mentioned above, the office holder has a staff to help that happen. Failure to respond to the people who elected the office holder would normally mean the office holder will not be re-elected.
