who whispers what…and why
A healthy habit that senior executives learn is to ask the question “why are you telling me this (particular fact, among all the facts there are to tell)?”
BTW, retired folks don’t have a greater capacity to vote, as compared to all voting age qualified voters. Mobility issues in fact make it harder. Also, depending on the definition of “long-term”, it is definitely true that the elderly will experience the consequences of their actions or, conversely, no one currently living will. Why did you tell me this? :-)

I think a lot of it is simply that many younger people are too busy to vote, or have too many appealing alternatives, or just don't get around to it; retired people have much more time on their hands, so they are more likely to do it. A good way of levelling that playing field is what we have here in Australia – compulsory voting. If you are eligible to vote and don't, the government will send you a letter asking for an excuse, and if they don't think that excuse is good enough (you can appeal their rejection of your excuse to court), they'll fine you (for federal elections it is only AU$20, although if you don't pay that on time, they add another zero on the end). Added to that, voting is always on Saturday, a day which the majority of people have off work – and those who have to work that day (or are observant Jewish/etc), can go to an early voting centre before then, or cast a postal vote. Young people are much more likely to vote when you force them to.
