America's turnout in recent memory has been that of trailing behind other developed countries in voter turnout.
There are some commentators that have identified voter apathy as a key cause of America's low turnout.
Voter apathy is when voters do not feel like their vote matters or that there is anyone worth voting for in the current election.
This has meant that by the time that the general election comes around, people who support candidates in the primary election may be tuned out due to the loss of their candidate and the lack of their preferred candidate in the general election. Voters are apathetic, in short.
Recently the voter turnout in the America has been meager. Also, this has confounded politicians as well as another activist who is looking for a way to reverse the trend that has seen the economy of the country decrease drastically.
In the recent past, the Americans votes have reduced during the presidential election, and during non-presidential races, the number goes down. This is because of the strict rules that discourage voters from participating in the exercise, thus reducing the voting population.
