The calculus of voting is a theoretical framework used to understand the decision-making process of individuals when participating in elections. The concept is associated with the work of political scientist Anthony Downs, particularly in his influential book "An Economic Theory of Democracy" published in 1957. The calculus of voting posits that individuals weigh the costs and benefits of voting to determine whether or not to participate in the electoral process.
