I believe this cartoon is symbolizing a young person who wants to vote, but their is to much corruption and "brainwashing" to know if she should or can do so.
Explanation:
A political cartoon, a type of editorial cartoon, is a cartoon graphic with caricatures of public figures, expressing the artist's opinion. An artist who writes and draws such images is known as an editorial cartoonist. They typically combine artistic skill, hyperbole and satire in order to question authority and draw attention to corruption, political violence and other social ills.
