Definición

  • VOTER TURNOUT IN consolidated democracies is generally determined by three factors: The provisions for suffrage as outlined in the constitution, electoral rules that govern the voting process, and individual voter characteristics. Nonvoters are therefore those individuals who do not participate in elections because they either do not legally have the right to vote, they face institutional barriers such as voter registration that make it more difficult to vote, or they share certain demographic and psychological characteristics that make it less likely they will vote.
