Voter suppression has severe consequences for democracy and citizen engagement. It undermines the fundamental right to vote, disproportionately affecting marginalized communities. Suppressive tactics, such as strict ID laws and reduced polling places, can lead to lower voter turnout and disenfranchisement. This erosion of electoral participation challenges the legitimacy of political systems and can create a cycle of disillusionment among citizens. Ultimately, voter suppression threatens the integrity of elections and the principle of representation in a democratic society.
