political involvement

Participating in governance

Political involvement is participation in the processes that shape government and public policy.

This ranges from voting and contacting elected officials to joining campaigns, attending rallies, or running for office.

The term can also extend to less formal engagement: following the news closely, discussing issues, or posting political content online.

Her political involvement began with local school board meetings.
