Low Voter Turnout Low voter turnout, or very simply put, non-voting, is a major issue in the United States today. By looking at demographic characteristics and institutional obstacles associated with nonvoting, we may begin taking steps to understand the reasons for such low voter turnout. Demographic characteristics associated with low voter turnout are a result of the nature of people. Education plays a major role in voter turnout. Those that are not knowledgeable about politics are known to be less affiliated than those with more extensive educational backgrounds. Many times, it isn’t a person’s fault by being ignorant to politics. Every year, many immigrants and refugees flee their respected countries looking for a place of refuge. Most of the time, they turn to the “land of opportunities”, here in America. And when these people finally reach the US the last thing on their mind is trying to “make a difference” by voting for one candidate over the other. From our knowledge of the nature of people we may also hypothesize that a child will most likely follow in the footsteps of his/her parents. If the parents feel voting is useless you can be sure that as long as the child isn’t greatly educated, vote, people, voting, one, nonvoting, candidates, candidate, voter, turnout, registering, process, don’t, another, time, therefore, take, states, much, minorities, might, make, low, election, because, win, reason, problem, political, parents, out, negative, looking, know, isn’t, institutional, difference
