What contributes to "exhausted voters" in the context of voting?

The concept of "exhausted voters" is best described by the frequency of elections and voting. When elections occur too frequently, it can lead to voter fatigue, making it more challenging for individuals to maintain engagement in the electoral process. This constant cycle of elections requires voters to continually invest time and effort in learning about candidates, issues, and their voting responsibilities, which can be overwhelming. Consequently, as individuals encounter frequent calls to participate in the democratic process, they may become disillusioned or fatigued, leading them to disengage from future elections. This phenomenon is especially pertinent when examining voter turnout trends; as the number of elections increases without corresponding measures to educate or motivate voters, overall engagement can diminish.

While long lines, complicated registration, and candidate apathy are significant challenges facing voters, they address different aspects of voter experience and engagement rather than the broader issue of how the frequency of elections can lead to fatigue.
