If Camus had the same view of life as his main character Mersault in The Stranger, he wouldn't vote at all. He would say that it wouldn't matter either way who lead the country, that they didn't even have much power, and his vote wouldn't make any difference anyways.
The moral of Voltaire's Candide is that one must "cultivate their own gardens." Keeping this in mind, he wouldn't be in favor of much government aid. He thought people should help themselves, making a republican candidate more appealing than a democratic one. Then again, I could also see Voltaire not voting. It seems that he would always be trying to make a statement against the established government.
