Citizens can participate in government by voting in elections, which allows them to choose representatives and influence policies. They can also engage in civic activities, such as attending town hall meetings or public forums, to voice their opinions and concerns. Additionally, citizens can become involved in advocacy by joining community organizations or lobbying for specific issues to ensure their interests are represented in the political process.
