Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The paradox of voting is a type of collective-action problem that arises when individuals don't have a strong incentive to participate in elections because their individual vote is unlikely to sway the outcome. However, if everyone thinks this way and chooses not to participate, the outcome could be very different, and not necessarily in the best interest of the whole group. This creates a paradox where individuals have a collective interest in participating, but individually may not find it rational to do so.
