Abstract

Peoples' participation in a democratic process is usually assed by the percentage of voters polled in the elections. But there are certainly other activities through which also a voter can participate in the entire exercise beyond voting. These activities are not generally accounted for by the researchers for studying political participation. In this article, an analysis is being made on the Non Voting activities performed by the voters during the elections. The analysis is based on a field study conducted in two legislative constituencies of Assam.
