The word that completes the sentence and has the most emotional impact is "neglecting."
So the sentence would read: "If you fail to vote, you are neglecting your duty as a citizen and discarding your right to have your voice be heard."
"Neglecting" conveys a stronger sense of responsibility and the weight of failing to act compared to the other options.
