Camus would definitely not be participating in the election either. After reading The Stranger, I see that he would find no meaning in the election. Everyone will die anyways, so what's the point of voting? Camus might be committing suicide or waiting to die somewhere instead.

Voltaire And Camus Are Voting For...
No one! After reading Candide, I learned that Voltaire does not believe in positions of power. In his novel, he has made it clear that he believes that most leaders, both political and religious, are corrupt and will not lead one to happiness. Voltaire is the type of person who would rather not worry about all the pettiness in society and mind his own business in his tiny garden.

I agree that Camus would not partake in voting but Voltaire would definitely partake in it. He is passionate about the development in society and is unhappy with what it has become. Judging from the two candidates though, Voltaire would take another route than we would think.
