Which term describes people who can vote but don't?

• A. nonvoting voters
• B. cannot voters
• C. political efficacy
• D. ballot fatigue

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is identifying the label for people who are eligible to vote but choose not to participate. The best fit is the term that directly describes voluntary nonparticipation: nonvoting voters. This phrase points to individuals who could vote but decide not to, which is exactly what this question is asking.

The other terms describe different situations. “Cannot voters” refers to people who are ineligible to vote due to legal or logistical reasons, not those who opt out. “Political efficacy” is about whether people believe their vote will make a difference, not about whether they vote. “Ballot fatigue” describes a reason someone might skip voting because the ballot is long or tedious, but it’s a phenomenon, not the label for the group of eligible but nonvoting individuals.
