Rational ignorance is when a voter decides not to invest time and energy in educating themselves on political issues because they believe their individual vote will not have a significant impact on government decisions. This behavior is rational because the time and effort required to become informed may not be worth the perceived benefit of having a slightly greater influence on the election outcome.
