Political Systems and Government Types
How does voter turnout affect policy choices made by democratic governments concerning welfare provisions?
Low voter turnout causes democratic governments to allocate more funds to defense rather than welfare provisions due to fear of internal instability.
Voter turnout has no effect on policy decisions concerning welfare because those decisions are dictated solely by economic projections and trends.
High voter turnout can signal strong public interest which may pressure politicians to prioritize enhancing welfare provisions.
High voter turnout generally leads democratic governments to decrease welfare provisions due to perceived complacency among citizens.
