Low Voter Turnout

  • The caption says "Something tells me they're expecting a low turnout." which in my opinion these words are being used because their is such a lower voter percentage and is trying to emphasize his point.
  • Their is a phone booth that says polling station. He is being sarcastic about how big the station is.
  • In the cartoon a couple is walking bath a phone booth which has a sign on it that reads "Polling Station" and the lady is commenting on the sign.
  • The message of this cartoon is that there is such a low voter turn out. Based on voter eligibility and voter age. He is trying to stress the fact of the difference between the people who vote and the total number of people can vote.
  • It relates to our most recent class discussion on VEP and VAP so that's why I choose this cartoon because it relates to our class discussion.
  • This cartoon uses irony because the artist used a small phone booth as a polling station which is usually a big building which can hold a lot of people who come to vote. So its ironic how the artist uses the phone booth which usually can only hold one person to represent the lower voter turnout.
