Voter Turnout

Voter participation varies significantly across age groups, with 18-25 year-olds being the least likely to vote, while those aged 45 and above show higher turnout rates. Factors contributing to low youth turnout include apathy, lack of alignment with major parties, indecision, and educational background. Higher education levels correlate with greater voting likelihood. Support for parties also varies, with Democrats typically backed by labor unions and minorities, while Republicans attract business communities and Protestant voters. These trends highlight the complexities of American electoral engagement.
