Document Summary
What makes people vote in an election depends on how they think and what can they benefit from this. Usually, people vote thinking whether their vote makes a difference or not and if them voting would increase the chance for the favoured candidate to win. Some may think that if they don"t go to vote, others might think the same and then, no one would go to vote. However, no matter what happens, votes or no votes-would not crash an election, since the states end up picking whatever its influential people want the final decision to be for. People continue to vote thinking that they might affect the election and if they can get their voices out there. Voting tends to be your voice for the choice in leadership for the country. Moreover, another reason might be that people try to vote to fulfil their civic duty by simply turning up to cast the vote.
