Why Don’t More People Vote?: Crash Course US Government #4

Why don’t more people in the U.S. vote? In 2024, 90 million U.S. voters made a choice on election day…the choice not to vote. The U.S. has some of the lowest voter turnout of any developed democracy. To find the answer, we have to take a hard look at ourselves, but also at the systems that make us want to vote, or stay home.
