How does voting benefit young people: what can they get out of voting?What can they get out of voting and how does it benefit them?

There is, of course, no direct and tangible benefit for
voting.  A young person who votes does not personally receive any money or anything like
that.  Therefore, the benefits have to be either A) intangible and/or B)
indirect.

An intangible benefit is the feeling of having
done your duty.  Young people who vote might feel as if they have done something to help
their country.  This might make them feel better and more
responsible.

An indirect benefit might be that politicians
would pay more attention to the needs of the young.  Right now, the old vote in much
greater numbers than the young so the needs of the elderly are often put ahead of the
needs of the young.  If more young people voted, this might change because politicians
would know that they had to do things to satisfy young voters as well as older
voters.
