I am writing a research paper on gender and politics for one of my college classes and it got me thinking about who actually follows politics and who votes.

Not my thing. But I do vote, only on things I know about or people I know about. I leave it blank if I don't know anyone/don't like anyone or don't know/like the topic.

I've tried so many times to get into (canadian) politics, but just can't seem to get interested enough to keep up.

I follow politics somewhat, but I have to admit that I'll vote straight-ticket in elections I don't know anything about. The reason being that election coverage of the small-town, local elections is terrible. When I lived in a big city, it was easy to grab a paper the weekend before elections and get a summary of where politicians stood on various issues. Not so in the small town I'm in now.

I vote in local elections only. I have never voted for a president even though there have been two opportunities in my lifetime.

As a subscriber to conspiracy theories, I haven't ever felt that presidential elections need my vote. And as the system is currently set up, they don't really. I feel that my local votes supplement the presidential vote.

I follow politics. I haven't voted, but I am registered to do so this year, so maybe I will.

I don't follow it too much. It is boring to me. But I will vote.

In high school I was a bit more of a political junky, but coming to college I actually kind of mellowed out because there were so many people sooo much more into it than me.

I still think voting is important and I pay attention to local and national politics and get out to vote.

I follow international politics more than I do politics at home. British politics are quite dull, as all the parties complete to be the most centrist. I already know who I'm going to vote for anyway, on ideological grounds.

American presidential debates always give me a good laugh, as both sides seem to compete to see who can be the most extreme in their position.

I vote in every election, even the silly tiny local elections where I frankly dont care as much who wins, but I will pick whoever I think aligns with my politics best.

I follow politics as far as it's needed and I vote merely to take a stand of my own.

I follow politics, and I will be voting in my first election this year. I believe it is my civic duty.

I try to follow politics as much as possible. It's a shame other people my age don't vote as much. If students were a larger voting block than funding for higher education sure as hell would not be getting cut as much as it is now!

I don't vote because I don't follow politics enough. I know some things, but not nearly enough to make an educated decision at the polls.

I think politics is just about who can lie the most and sound like they are telling you the truth. I vote on and off depending on the election.
