Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rational voters are more likely to vote in small local elections because the impact of each vote is greater in such elections. In large national elections, the impact of each vote is diluted by the large number of voters. If the issues are complex, rational voters may feel uncertain about which candidate to support and may not vote at all. Employment status may not necessarily be a factor in determining whether a voter is rational or likely to vote.
