Question

About 34 per cent of eligible voters did not exercise their right to vote in the 2024 elections. Why do you think this is so?

Answer 1

The 34% of eligible voters who did not vote may have stayed away from elections because of lack of awareness, political disinterest, or the feeling that their vote would not make a difference. Practical problems such as long distances to polling stations, health concerns, or not having the required ID may have also stopped some people from voting.
