Voting is a natural process of the legislative systems of a nation. However, the youngsters lack the interest to cast their vote in numerous nations. In this essay, I will delve into this topic by examining the causes and solutions to it.
The main cause is that youngsters feel whoever becomes a politician will not change anything because all the public servants are afraid to make transformations or huge changes. The public figures seem to be top earners of taxpayers`s money without meeting the expectations of people. For example, I used to line up for several hours for elections to support a member of parliament in Malaysia. After he won the constituency, he has never promised his words and he is always unavailable in his office when people need his help. While he is earning a high income but not even contributing his efforts to his voters. This is the reason why people are disappointed and reject their voting opportunities.
Another cause is the expenses to the voters. For example, the travel time and costs to the election center are not compensable. Moreover, the youngsters feel it is not a question of patriotism for not voting because they know the quality of the politicians in their nation. That said, their lives are still the same regardless of which leaders are in the parliament. The youngsters are more concerned about costs and time they spend on things considering the high inflation today.
In summary, the solution to these problems is the government should reform the election systems by understanding the voters more. For example, provide free shuttle buses to the voters on election day. The government should also build a positive image by eradicating corruption, scandals, and abuse of power. This move to ensure that public trust the authority again.
