It is crucial that governments regulate formal political participation by restricting areas such as voting access and protests.
These are areas that can wreck havoc in the state and if they are left without restrictions or regulations it is likely that disorder will result.
Provided that these are formal participation that means they are driven by the need to find the way forward and some solutions to help establish society for better.
This can be futile if people are left to do as they see fit during protest times for example without restrictions people will demolish the whole country or will go out of their way to make it difficult to move forward. These restrictions are then needed to bring order and effectiveness of these participations.
