Voting Trivia #2 Health Voting correlates with certain health benefits. Beyond the psychological benefit that results from a feeling of personal efficacy, high levels of social and physical health are associated with communities that are engaged in voting and civic participation. Communities that vote are better represented in government and receive more attention as a result, reaping benefits such as greater social capital, less crime, more connectives, better health, and better services. Furthermore, as civically engaged communities begin receiving these benefits and become more healthy, they are likely to participate even further in the political process, and by doing so, continue to improve their societal well-being. In this way, the correlation between voting and health becomes a self-perpetuating cycle of benefits. SO do vote and have a positive impact on your health.
