Cevap

Higher levels of education are associated with a greater sense of political efficacy, which increases a person's belief that their vote can influence government decisions.
Higher education helps individuals acquire the skills and knowledge needed to understand political issues and navigate the voter registration process. This leads to a greater sense of political efficacy—the belief that one's vote and political participation actually matter. Citizens with high political efficacy are statistically much more likely to turn out to vote.
