Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All three options listed (alienation, lack of political efficacy, and feeling of lack of control) are commonly cited reasons why low-income individuals do not vote. These factors can lead to a feeling of disengagement from the political process and the belief that voting will not make a difference in their lives or in the policies adopted by the government.
