Voter apathy undermines decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) governance by concentrating power among active participants. Low turnout—often <10% in large DAOs—enables small groups to control decisions, risking misaligned incentives. For example, a proposal with 5% voter participation may pass despite 90% opposition among non-voters. Solutions like quadratic voting, where votes are weighted by participation effort, or delegation systems, where users assign votes to trusted representatives, increase engagement. Educating members on proposal impacts and simplifying voting interfaces could further boost participation, ensuring democratic outcomes.
