Where Have All The Voters Gone?
The decline of turnout in British elections in the last few years has created something approaching a panic in the political establishment and has left the Electoral Commission and other interested bodies with an acute problem in political marketing. What has resulted is both the commissioning of research to explore the reasons for non-voting and a rash of suggested solutions. This paper discusses newly-published evidence about the way the public views voting and how this is related to other attitudinal and behavioural characteristics commonly treated collectively as components of "activism" or "good citizenship". It also considers the implications of these and other findings for some of the suggested solutions to the turnout problem.
