How does education affect voter turnout?

Education plays a large role in voter turnout. Typically the more educated a population is, the higher the voter turnout. There is a larger interest in the political happenings of a community when there is advancement in education. This is not to say the uneducated or less educated individuals do not vote, the trend is, however, that the higher the general education level is in a population the more likely they are to vote.
