I would argue all those values are irrational. Ticking a box that has no effect on the world, and that no one will ever know about, should not matter. And I don't think many people would claim that they value that, if they accepted that premise. I think people value voting because they don't accept that premise, and think there is some value in their vote.
Please do.
The expression "irrational values" sounds like a category mistake to me.
I'd be comfortable describing someone with a preference set that violates the axiom of quasi-transitivity as having "irrational values," but certainly not for valuing a "self-perception as a person who" engages is some kind of activity, such as voting.
At a particular moment in time, right? There is nothing which says preferences have to be stable as time passes.
