Voting
Description
Voting is the structured process by which individuals or groups express choices among alternatives to reach collective decisions. Its essential action is to aggregate preferences transparently and fairly, enabling legitimate selection of leaders, policies, or solutions. Voting remedies issues of representation, conflict, and indecision by providing an orderly mechanism for resolving differences, ensuring accountability, and facilitating peaceful transitions or changes within organizations, communities, or societies.
Implementation
In the USA, the old vote more readily than the young. In the 1996 federal elections, for example, just under half of the electorate aged 25-44 voted, accounting for 39% of the turnout. By contrast, 64% of voters aged 45-64 voted and 67% of those aged 65 or over; together they accounted for 53% of the turnout.
