There is also the evidentialist consideration (see e.g. section 5 of Leslie [1991]): to cast your vote plausibly gives you evidence that others decided to do so as well. The correlation between you and any given person is of course very low, but if the population is sufficiently large then the effect could be substantial.[1]

However, this is not necessarily an argument in favour of voting since you might be more correlated with people who would vote for the other party.
