Voting is a mass psychological process, it's not defined by acute individual calculative dynamics. It makes NO sense to vote from a game theory perspective for instance. Voting is determined by elective psychological body structures. IF you have an interest in a result going one way or the other then what you want to do is take part in the upstream debate and discussion on the given issue and take the fruits of the voting results later on. A preferential voting result is based on these prior reified collective mindsets that manifest in electoral bodies on election day.

Now the obvious problem with voting is the psychological reality that structures it which can only be authoritarian and hierarchical. The reason why anarchists don't vote is because they believe in solving problems more directly. Not voting is part of the process of defacing the currency of voting. Even if you have a personal interest in a result your ONE vote will probably not determine it. It's in the hands of which electoral body of voting is stronger and that the way you help determine that again is by taking part in pre/non-voting upstream debate discussion. In either even, just stay home and masterbate and see if the psychological structure goes your way.
