Explain why voter turnout is generally higher in elections that decide the executive leader than in local council elections.
Answer Options
Correct Answer
A.
Because executive elections are viewed as more consequential, attract greater media attention and campaign effort, and voters believe their vote matters more, turnout is higher than in local council elections, which are perceived as less impactful.
B.
Because local council elections receive less media coverage and voters feel their individual vote has little impact, turnout tends to be lower than in executive elections.
C.
Since executive elections are usually held on weekends while local council elections are on weekdays, more people can vote in the former, raising turnout.
D.
Voters are generally more motivated by national policy debates than by local issues, so they turn out more for executive races than for council contests.
