المستخلص

Voting is one of the simplest forms of participation in modern democracies, and thus one of the most researched topics in political science, as well as in political geography, what motivates people to participate or abstain from participating is a particularly relevant subject, if we can identify what motivates people to vote and what keeps them from voting, we might be able to set up elections in a way that encourages more people to vote, In this study, an important question was answered: Is there a correlation between distance and voting? The study concluded that there is a positive correlation between the number of polling stations and Turnouts is 0.521, and that the correlation between cost and Turnouts is 0.517, the study also concluded the correlation between the distance from the candidate’s hometown and Turnouts, and it was a negative relationship in the number of 29 candidates from their total number of 30 candidates
