In Spatial Voting Theory, distortion is a measure of how good the winner is.It is proved that no deterministic voting mechanism can guarantee a distortionbetter than $3$, even for simple metrics such as a line. In this study, we wishto answer the following question: how does the distortion value change if weallow less motivated agents to abstain from the election?  We consider an election with two candidates and suggest an abstention model,which is a more general form of the abstention model proposed by Kirchgassner.We define the concepts of the expected winner and the expected distortion toevaluate the distortion of an election in our model. Our results fullycharacterize the distortion value and provide a rather complete picture of themodel.
