Examples of voter fatigue in the following topics:
-
- Many causes have been proposed for the decline in voting, including demographics, voter fatigue and voter suppression, among other things.
- Voter suppression instead attempts to reduce the number of voters who might vote against the candidate or proposition advocated by the suppressors.
- In the United States and most Latin American nations, voters must go through separate voter registration procedures before they are allowed to vote.
- In politics, voter fatigue is the apathy that the electorate can experience under certain circumstances, one of which could be (in exceptional circumstances) that they are required to vote too often.
- Voter fatigue and voter apathy should be distinguished from what arises when voters are not allowed or unable to vote, or when disenfranchisement occurs.
-
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common persistent fatigue syndrome that affects people.
- Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) is the most common name used to designate a significantly debilitating medical disorder or group of disorders.
- Generally defined by persistent fatigue accompanied by other specific symptoms for a minimum of six months in adults (and 3 months in children/adolescents), not due to ongoing exertion, not substantially relieved by rest, and not caused by other medical conditions.
- The disorder may also be referred to as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), post-viral fatigue syndrome (PVFS), chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome (CFIDS), or several other terms.
- An Australian prospective study found that after infection by viral and non-viral pathogens, a sub-set of individuals met the criteria for CFS, with the researchers concluding that "post-infective fatigue syndrome is a valid illness model for investigating one pathophysiological pathway to CFS".

- Muscle fatigue refers to the decline in
muscle force generated over sustained periods of activity, or due to
pathological issues.
- Muscle fatigue has a number of causes including impaired
blood flow, ion imbalance within the muscle, nervous fatigue, loss of desire to
continue and most importantly from the accumulation of lactic acid in the
muscle.
- Most movements require a force far below what a muscle could in
potential generate, and barring disease nervous fatigue is seldom an issue.
- Depletion of required
substrates such as ATP or glycogen within a muscle result in fatigue as the muscle
is not able to generate energy to power contractions.
- With sufficient training the metabolic capacity of a muscle can change, delaying the onset of muscle fatigue.
-
- In the short-term muscle can become fatigued and sore.
- Muscle fatigue has a number of causes
including impaired blood flow, ion imbalance within the muscle, nervous
fatigue, loss of desire to continue and most importantly from the accumulation
of lactic acid in the muscle.

- High voter turnout is often considered to be desirable, though among political scientists and economists specialising in public choice, the issue is still debated.
- In developed countries, non-voters tend to be concentrated in particular demographic and socioeconomic groups, especially the young and the poor.
- Voter turnout varies considerably between countries.
- Voters lining up outside a Baghdad polling station during the 2005 Iraqi election.
- Voter turnout was considered high despite widespread concerns of violence.
-
- In 1993, Congress passed the National Voter Registration Act of 1993, also known as the "motor voter" law, allowing citizens to register at motor vehicle and social service offices.
- "Motor voter's" success in increasing the ranks of registered voters differs by state depending on how well the program is publicized and executed.
- Voter registration also has increased as a result of online registration.
- RTV registered over 2 million new voters in 1992, 80% of whom cast a ballot, and signed up over 2.5 million voters in 2008.
- Voter turnout in presidential elections is generally higher than for lower-level contests; usually more than half the eligible voters cast a ballot .
-
- Due to a decrease in party identification, the personal traits of candidates have become an influential factor in voters' decisions.
- The personal traits of candidates have become an influential factor in voters' decisions during recent elections.
- Issue voting can also be problematic when candidates' stances differ drastically from those of voters.
- Many candidates utilize demographic factors to appeal to voters.
- Other candidates appeal to voters through shared religious affiliations.
-
- In "issue voting," voters cast their vote based primarily on specific political issues .
- A voter does not need to have an in-depth understanding of every issue or know how a candidate stands on every issue, rather a voter should have a sense of which candidate he or she agrees with the most.
- Voters use many different tactics to rationalize their view on a particular issue.
- Voters must often settle for the candidate whose stances are closest to their own.
- Some voters cast their ballots according to specific policy issues, for example, education reform.
-
- Voter turnout varies considerably between countries.
- Voter turnout is the percentage of eligible voters who cast a ballot in an election.
- There are difficulties in measuring both the numerator, the number of voters who cast votes, and the denominator, the number of voters eligible to vote.
- Not all voters who arrive at the polls necessarily cast ballots.
- Voter turnout varies considerably between countries.
-
- On average, Latino citizens continue to vote at significantly lower rates than non-Latino white voters.
- Latino voters are a diverse group which include long-established Tejano and Californio, Puerto Rican and Chicano voters, as well as the Cuban-American community which makes up a large bloc of voters in Miami.
- While Latino voters should not be thought of as a homogenous group, there are still some general trends for the group.
- On average Latino citizens continue to vote at significantly lower rates that non-Latino white voters.
- They are also encouraging the political participation of Latino residents through voter registration drives, and partnerships with other organizations, such as unions, that have traditionally been involved in voter mobilization.
