Why people don't vote?

[Balmoon]

in my opinion they do not yet know the true meaning of democracy, regret always comes too late, if something has happened they always blame others, but at the time of their election they are silent and do not want to democracy

[IQB Official]

they are not aware of the voting power they have, that could actually make a difference

Democracy is a flawed system, but (in my opinion) it still beats a dictatorship. I agree that a fair amount of the time it is pointless, but this doesn't mean it is a complete failure. Apathy is probably the biggest reason people don't vote, as they don't believe that their vote can make a difference, especially at a national level. Local elections can be much more influential, and have a marked impact on services in the area you live. Plenty more to say on the subject, but going to check out my facts first.

Usually, peoples are less aware of their importance to vote, ignoring it and thinking it did not affect if they do not vote. I think we should understand how important it is, our single vote sometimes counts very high in tight political choices.

[lang shao]

We recently had election and only about a half of voters turned up for the vote.

Don't people realise it is their democratic right to vote, to be able to influence where we are going as society? Don't they realise what a priviledge this is compared to old times and places with no democracy. It is a duty and responsibility in my opinion. If you don't vote, then don't complain!

Hello, im on your side, each one of us is free to vote or not to vote but we as a person is a big help when we particapate in that such event. I believe that  our vote is enought to change our own country .Many thanks...

I asked my friend the same question. She said that she did not vote last election because she did not want to blame herself voting another shit president of our country. Coz every one of us did not sure whether the person we will vote will change our country becoming better.

READ! NOAM CHOMSKY's "Manufacturing Consent"..they need to trick you into making their crimes legal and normal.


EVERYTHING you think you know and have been taught IS A LIE A FRAUD A SCHEME TO FUCK YOU.
EVEN THE YEAR 2018 is a FRAUD LIE....They made a fake history of almost 1000 years.
You will easily see and find how voting is a WEAPON they USE AGAINST YOU.

The most stupid are the fools that think they can change things by voting. or by protesting
You only teach them how to control and fuck you again or how easy it is to bribe you with toys

EVEN IF you find an honest man loyal to his people they will just kill him...the did SO SO many times.
JFK...ALLENDE...etc...
They ONLY LET THE SCUM BAGs the stupid & the corrupt get elected every time.
WAKE UP !!!!

If you don't vote, you have no right to complain.

Of course governments only spend your money, they are not very productive businesses.  They do however provide useful function: law and order.  Vote for the party that will spend the least to achieve this fundamental function.  Everything else is just waste of taxpayers money.

If you don't like any of the parties, start your own, or vote for the party that you think would best serve your community and your country.

I agree that right now we cannot elect the best, most intelligent members of societies to govern our countries.  We are stuck with electing best orators and/or most popular idiots.  But that is the best system we have.

You either have anarchy (very inefficient), dictatorship (very efficient), or democracy (inefficient).

Small, limited but democratic government is probably the best option.

Unless you have a better idea.

Most political leaders or politician always have their way out in almost everything,which makes people think their votes will not make any difference.Some can even buy the votes just to be in power

[lunasol]

I personally do not vote because I don’t really care for the US government.

[lunasol]

People don't vote for a number of reasons, I will mention a few of them:
1) They don't have confidence in the politicians
2) They feel their vote wouldn't change the outcome
3) They believe the political class hasn't helped them enough and so doesn't deserve their vote
4) Some are afraid of the violence associated with elections especially in third world and developing countries and so tries to avoid it.

Agreed and also want to add the following:

5) The election process is terrible- people have to line up under the sun or in poorly ventilated places for hours just to cast their vote.
6) They do not believe in the government and pretty much do not care who sits in it.
7) They have work during voting hours and cannot be away from it.

[glowing10]

they are not aware of the voting power they have, that could actually make a difference

This is one of the strongest reason that people assume that nothing is going to change if they do not vote and thus if millions think in same fashion understand when one vote matter so how much millions vote can matter and make a difference. Get up people and do caste your vote at the time of requirement.

I also ask my mother about it. She simple simple and utter in her mouth i dont wanna get involve with those corrupt politicians they only knew the poor people when they needed us to vote for them after that they will just forget all the promises they have spoken during the campaign period.

[bernashka]

People do not vote, and they do it right. Because the elections that take place in our country are all bought. Chaos is going on in the plots. The results are being juggled. And it makes no sense to walk at all, when the result is so obvious.

[Nasonn]

People don't boy for a lot of reason, I'm from a country where votes doesn't count so people generally don't see the need to go out and vote.

[Christinebeauty]

People don't vote because they think their one vote doesnt make any difference forgetting that its the individual single votes that collectively give a candidate his required number of votes to become a winner

[tvbcof]

The most legitimate reason I can see to not vote is that there may be a credible legal(-ish) argument that by participating in 'the Democratic system' one accepts the outcome.

The victim (the voter) might try to argue that he/she was fooled because there was incomplete information related to the candidates and the winning candidate lied and thus stole the victim's vote.

The counter-argument to the above would be that it is no legal obligation for a candidates to be truthful and they lie on the campaign trail all the time, and there was plenty of information available with a little bit of digging which exposed the fact that the election and (American) dual-party system is a sham where both candidates are put forward by the same financial power-players.  Thus, if the victim was fooled it is their own damned fault.

Simply not voting at all, or not voting in races where I feel there is a fraudulent game going on (most of them) I am formally bowing out and thus am not legally/ethically obligated (in my mind at least) to accept the dictates of the political winner.  (For practical reasons I currently follow almost all laws anyway since most of them are currently not excessively problematic.)  More and more this is exactly what I do with respect to voting, and this is the philosophical justification for my behavior.

[FlightyPouch]

People loosing trust on politicians and politics

Can we also include the option that there are a lot of people that want to really vote but they can't? Yes, there are instances, well I can see that every time that the election is there that people are not listed on any voting precinct. The most reason is that either they did not register, though most of these guys don't really want to vote because they don't care, or there has an error on the side of the Commission.

[orlando-bounty]

You still think you live and have right to vote. You really think a man could play a role in desicions of whom is next leader. No way. 300 richest families rule this world and decide who is next their slave. We don't vote, it is a miracle, illusion of people right to choose the leader
