Answer 1

one of the most cited benefits of low voter turnout is that the less educated people are easily swayed and when they vote less, stability of the system is maintained and demagoguery is discouraged.

Explanation:

Democracy is “By the people”, “for the people” and “of the people”. However, these days, low voter turnouts are observed at polling. This speaks of general disenchant in the people regarding polling and democracy indirectly. In the long term, the trends can be suicidal for all democratic nations.

Many political activists construe this development as a blessing for democracy since it strengthens the intrinsic qualities of democracy. Less educated people are easily swayed by the lure and attraction of gifts, rewards and bounties hence, they encourage demagoguery. Through the manipulation of these novice voters, fickle-minded ones can subvert the holy process. However, it is to be remembered that by discouraging the less educated from voting, activists are destroying the basic essence of democracy by themselves.

Regulatory loopholes can be plugged without hampering the democratic fabric of the nation.
