Why is voting an essential part of a democracy? Why are voter turnout numbers so low? Why do younger people tend to vote less often than older people? What do you think can be done to increase voter turnout, especially among younger voters?

Voting is essential because it gives people the opportunity to vote for someone to lead them. Vote turnout numbers are so low because not everyone wants to vote. Young people tend to vote less because since they are so young, most don't want to learn about history and as teenagers they just want to have fun all day. What do I think to increase votes for young ones would be to plant the seed of history into their hearts so they want to vote and make them learn about their history to see why they should vote.
