It causes you to consider the problems in your society and be aware of proposed solutions. Sounding your voice is just as important as being heard.

Lots of people vote without considering anything at all, or without being aware of proposed solutions.

Hell, I'd guess that the majority of voters yesterday were not very well informed about any of the proposed solutions.
