The Voter and the Non-Voter

Non-voters and voters, when equated as to sex, religion, education, and income, differ significantly. The non-voters took part minimally in organized activities and exposed themselves relatively less to politics in the mass media. Their political information was comparatively meager, and their attitudes uncrystallized. Non-voters indentifies themselves more closely with non-political leaders and were generally more isolated and immobile and most concerned with economic problems.
