Research has consistently shown that more affluent and educated citizens have a disproportionate influence over politics and policy decisions. This is due to factors such as their greater resources, more frequent participation in political activities, and greater access to policymakers. Less affluent and less educated citizens may have less influence because of their lower levels of participation and lower levels of resources available to them. Nonvoters, by definition, do not participate in the political process and therefore do not have any influence over policy decisions.
