Voting is done almost everywhere around the world but it is much more popular in other parts of the world then in the USA. In many places in Europe, it is actually mandatory to vote and the cost of not voting is usually a fine. Besides it being mandatory in areas, overall voting is much more popular and people tend to be more active when it comes to voting because they want to (not just because they have to). With establishing in the constitution that voting is optional, the USA has had a negative slope in voter turnout in comparison to ther parts of the world. This cartoon depicts that countries like China and Russia are campaigning to vote and take it very seriously while the US citizens are not as concerned when it comes to voting for their leaders. This is shown by the person sleeping when their TV is indicating that it is time to vote.
