衡量民主制度是否健康的最高标志是民众的参与。由你来决定投票给谁，但无论你支持谁，请务必现身投票。即使选出的是完全相同的政治家，75%投票率的民主制度也比50%投票率的民主制度更健康，因为公民参与民主进程表明他们重视这一进程并希望保留它。
（显然，这只适用于有资格参加正在进行的选举的选民。如果你没有投票资格，请不要投票。）

The strongest sign of a healthy democracy is that people participate in it. It's up to you to decide who to vote for, but no matter who you support, please show up and cast a ballot. A democracy with 75% voter turnout is healthier than a democracy with 50% voter turnout even exactly the same politicians got elected, because citizens participating in a democratic process signals that they value the process and want to keep it.<p>(Obviously, this only applies to people eligible to vote in ongoing elections. If you're not eligible to vote, please don't vote.)
