dc.description.abstract Studies on education investments and the educational sector overall have proved to be efficient and long-term contributions for the long-term development of the country and nation, meanwhile, Armenia and Georgia have low public spending percentages of GDP on education. Besides that, voter turnout has been inconsistent in both countries. These two measures inspired to understand if the level of education has impact on voting behavior alongside with other factors. Intuitively thinking, the more educated the person, the more responsible he feels about the future of the country, hence addresses elections in a rational manner, assuming voting is the rational choice in any condition. As the research shows, higher education increases the probability of voting, due to the fact that education helps navigate voting easier and be more responsible in the democratic opportunity of voting for governance. en_US
