Answer: increases with age.
Young people tend to vote less than older people. There are several hypotheses for explaining why this is the case. It is generally assumed that young people display more apathy towards the political process, and that they do not have strong political opinions. Another hypothesis is that young people do not feel represented in politics, as candidates tend to be older. Finally, it has been argued that younger generations have a general mistrust surrounding democratic processes. All these factors could explain why voter participation remains low among young people, but increases with age.
