So this is how individual force influence .Other individual forces is Age .There is arelation between the voting behaviour and age .When the person is at top of its earning which evenutally a happen when he or she become successful ( atleast take some time or make them aged ) they favor traditional policies like lower taxation on higher earner etc .Therefore it influence the voting behaviour .It also include young who nees education ,funding which make them to support those who will manifest educational policies for them .Now coming to the insitutional forces like media , newspaper ,TV,radio ,internet ,political parties which directly influence the voting behaviour by reaching every person in the country .So overall the indiovidual and institutional force combined decide the increase or the decreased in the voting turnover .
