Cevap
Individuals with greater residential stability face fewer institutional barriers, such as voter registration updates, and tend to have stronger ties to their local communities.
Individuals who have lived in their homes for a longer duration (greater residential stability) are much more likely to vote. This is because they are already registered to vote at their current address and do not face the institutional barrier of re-registering after a move. Additionally, long-term residents are more likely to have strong social ties and a sense of community engagement, which increases their political efficacy and likelihood of participating in elections.
