Voter disenfranchisement has significant implications for democracy, as it limits the participation of specific groups, often marginalized populations. This exclusion undermines the legitimacy of the electoral process and can lead to political apathy. Furthermore, disenfranchisement can exacerbate inequality and distort policy outcomes, as the voices of affected populations are not represented in decision-making. Consequently, addressing voter disenfranchisement is critical for promoting an inclusive political environment that reflects the diverse interests of all citizens.
