Voter Apathy, Voter Registration & Voter Turnout
Voter Apathy
Voter apathy occurs when voters are indifferent and do not care about an election. This may explain the low turn out of an election. Related is “Voter Fatigue”, which is a similar sentiment that occurs when there have been too many elections in a short space of time, and the voter no longer cares about what happens.
Voter Registration
In the UK it is mandatory for citizens to register to vote before being allowed to vote in the election. You may register online or by post, but the deadline to register before the upcoming local election is the 20th April 2015. If you fail to register to vote before this point, you could be fined. If you register with incorrect information, you could face a large fine and further prosecution.
Voter Turnout
Voter turnout is calculated by the percentage of registered (or eligible) voters who cast a ballot an election. A low turnout is considered undesirable, as it implies that voters are indifferent or unhappy with the voting system and political situation.

I totally agree that everyone should get up & vote on election day. Many people have fought for the right to vote, especially women, and it is the only real input we have to change who represents us in parliament every five years. I think electronic voting will be the future, and that will enable voting for everyone on every issue, everyday.......now that would be democracy !!
I have been waiting for a campaign like yours for years......
