Description: In advanced democracies, many citizens abstain from participating in the political process. Does low and unequal voter turnout influence partisan election results or public policies? If so, how can participation be increased and how can the electorate become more representative of the greater population?
Notes: Keywords: causal inference, inequality, political representation, voter turnout.
