I used to be an election judge, we usually got a low voter turnout unless it was a Presidential election. Easy enough job, but I'd only work during an election, which only happens once every few months.

Just a simple visit to the public library is all it takes to become a registered voter again. Just fill out the form and mail it in, and then go vote when the next election comes up.

If not, I tell them they have no right at all to complain. It's a good start to a conversation on the importance of voting.
