The decline in voter turnout at elections is chiefly explained by the decline in voting by younger people who have very different lifestyles. Older people are much more likely to vote. If this trend continues, probably this will lead to a point at which no government can be said to have a mandate to govern as the number of voters will be too small to indicate the wishes of the majority. Society needs, therefore, to find an alternative to conventional elections so that the wishes of the people can be heard. Select one option that best expresses the flaw in the above argument.
A.Elections are used in all democratic countries as the only well established process of choosing a government.
B.With the help of social media, young people may be more likely to join pressure groups than to vote in an election.
C.There may be problems in using alternatives such as internet and postal voting due to remote residential places.
D.People who are young now may become more likely to vote as they get older.
Correct answer: D
