Voter turnout is explored as a key indicator of democratic health, with the author documenting factors leading to low participation rates. Mark Franklin argues that declining turnout is not solely due to diminished civic engagement or growing alienation but is influenced by institutional changes and a lack of electoral competition. He suggests that many voters choose not to participate in response to these conditions, highlighting the need for reforms to address the underlying issues affecting voter engagement.
