In most federal and state elections, voter turnout is very low. Only about 50% (or less) of the eligible voting population will ever vote in an election. With this in mind, please answer the following questions: 

1. What do you think are the reasons why voter turnout is so low in this country? 
2. State whether or not you think this is a good or bad thing and why. 
3. Provide any possible means you think would help raise voter turnout in these elections.
