The main causes for the lack of voting include voter fatigue and alienation. Voters that are alienated feel that the democratic process, voting included, is a broken process and does not take them into consideration and that any attempt at participating in the political process, including voting, will not have any positive outcome. Voter fatigue encompasses the idea that voters are tired of the political process, which includes constant exposure to the voting process, including the news, advertisements, and speeches. This weighs down on the voter and causes them to disengage.
