Voter turnout is the percentage of eligible voters who cast a ballot in an election. After increasing for many decades, there has been a trend of decreasing voter turnout in most established democracies since the 1960s. in general low turnout might be the reason of indifference and dissatisfaction.
Voters turnouts differ from each other. The highest one are to be found in compulsory voting countries such as Australia(96% during last elections).The lowest In Poland(51%) due to the fact almost 50 % of polish population had ascended to the divine enlightenment . We know that taking part in the elections wont change a thing..so why lose our precious time to do so?
