The year 2024 can be considered an election year given the number of countries holding elections throughout this year. In any democratic nation, elections are crucial as citizens are the ones who decide who will run their nation for the next few years. While voting often comes to mind when one thinks of political participation, the actual definition of political participation is much more than just participating in choosing the next ruling political party or candidate in a presidential democracy. According to a study about defining political participation, it was concluded that political participation is complex and subjective, and hence, should be defined as per the context of the situation. So for now, let’s consider political participation as citizens participating in any activities that are associated with the political process — this can range from voicing opinions on a political decision to joining protests.
