Social movements can significantly affect electoral politics by shaping public opinion, mobilizing voters, and influencing candidates' agendas. They bring attention to pressing issues, fostering dialogue and awareness among the electorate. Successful social movements can result in broader political engagement, driving turnout and impacting election results. Moreover, movements may pressure politicians to adopt specific policy positions to align with or appease constituents, creating new political dynamics. Therefore, the interaction between social movements and electoral politics is vital for understanding democratic development and citizen empowerment.
