Analyzing the relationship between voter turnout and democratic health, this study highlights factors leading to low participation rates. It argues that declining turnout is not merely a sign of civic disengagement but results from institutional changes, diminished electoral competition, and a collective decision by many voters to abstain. Mark Franklin proposes reforms aimed at addressing these issues to enhance democratic participation.
