If voters are repeatedly told that their vote makes no difference, what harm may occur?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Citizen participation and democratic trust may decrease

Correct answer: A. A vote is a way for citizens to express preferences and influence who represents them. If people repeatedly hear that their vote is useless, they may become discouraged, stop voting, stop discussing public issues or lose faith in democratic institutions. Lower participation can make representation less inclusive and weaken the legitimacy of elected government. B is the opposite of the likely effect. C does not follow because discouraging voters cannot broaden representation. D is also wrong because a lower and less trusted participation rate does not make the public mandate clearer. This does not mean one individual vote always decides an election; it means that every vote contributes to collective public choice. Memory cue: valued votes encourage participation.
