The strongest sign of a healthy democracy is that people participate in it. It's up to you to decide who to vote for, but no matter who you support, please show up and cast a ballot. A democracy with 75% voter turnout is healthier than a democracy with 50% voter turnout even exactly the same politicians got elected, because citizens participating in a democratic process signals that they value the process and want to keep it.

(Obviously, this only applies to people eligible to vote in ongoing elections. If you're not eligible to vote, please don't vote.)
