Voting is more important. There is no short term or long term for not going to church. Your faith is in you and not in church.
On the other hand, do you have to go to the voting booth every Sunday? What are you voting on?

Here in the U.S., it's not about going to church, it's WHICH church you go to. Just try winning over southern republicans if you're a Catholic or an Episcopalian.
Voting is more important for me, because I don't go to church at all. But even though I vote, I'm not so sure its worthwhile--we essentially have two choices in presidential elections, the Republicrat or the Depublican, both of whom are owned by special interest groups... well, I could go on and on about the screwy nature of American politics, but I won't. I'll still vote just because I can.

voting! You can always go to a church but you only get to vote every so often.
your vote will count for you in the long run. but missing one service wont.
you miss the chance to have a voice in our government this time around. god wont miss you for one day < short term

People who go to church should not vote. That is how we ended up in Iraq.

Both. Nonattendence to church can effect your soul for eternity(Hebrews 10:21-25}.
Not voting means that you CAN'T complain about who won

I'd say voting, but you should know that I'm an atheist. That influences my choice just a bit...

Salient -- you make me laugh! (I like that one)
Voting. It is a civic duty and responsibility. Not every country gets to enjoy that freedom - every citizen here should take advantage of it.
