The digital divide has substantial implications for political participation, as disparities in access to technology can hinder engagement among marginalized groups. Communities without reliable internet access may struggle to engage with online platforms for political information, advocacy, or organization. This divide can exacerbate existing inequalities and limit participation in democratic processes, including voting and activism. Bridging the digital divide is crucial to fostering an informed, engaged citizenry that can participate fully in political life and exercise their rights effectively.
