Voter suppression severely undermines democratic elections by preventing eligible citizens from exercising their right to vote. Tactics such as strict ID requirements, purging voter rolls, or limited access to polling places disproportionately affect marginalized groups, leading to diminished electoral participation. The consequences of voter suppression can skew election results, entrench political power structures, and erode public trust in the democratic process. By disenfranchising voters, suppressive measures can alter the representation of diverse voices and interests in governance, consequently impacting policy outcomes and accountability.
