People above the age of 18 choose not to vote because they believe that their one single vote does not count. That it does not matter. But the fact is that every little vote makes a difference. But you should not force them to vote. Let them decide whether or not they want to vote. If they don't, then they don't.
Some people don't vote because they are not interested in politics; they do not understand how it affects their life. Others don't vote because it's difficult for them to get to the voting place (there is a movement to change the day of voting from a Tuesday, when many people have to work, to a weekend day). Still others don't feel the current political system of two parties speaks to their beliefs, and if they can't find a candidate who represents their views, they stay home. A small number of people don't vote because their religion says they should not (Jehovah's Witnesses, for example). And there are also some people who don't vote because they are very cynical about the electoral process: they feel their vote doesn't count due to the fact that the system often seems corrupt, and is too influenced by the money spent by lobbyists and special interest groups.
Another reason younger people don't vote because there graduating from high school and, collage, and they are just starting a job, so they don't have enough time to vote.
because they dont think they should vote or they are not old enough,they are not over age.
The two primary reasons (imho) are (1) they don't believe that their vote can make a difference, or (2) they don't like any of the candidates who are running.
You can vote at 18, and that is actually pretty young to most people.

Why did over 80 million people not vote?
People who don't vote give many reasons why they don't. The argument that their vote doesn't count is a falsehood and illogical. This election proved that every vote counts. Just imagine how the result of the election could be different if the 42% who didn't vote had voted. To have a voice in our democracy the ability to vote is so important. People have fought for the right to vote and the excuses for not voting are not valid. No one has the right to complain when they don't vote.

What is required to overturn a vote by the people?
On the local level, you would probably have to collect so many signatures so as to put something on the ballot for another vote. On the state and federal level, the people really can't overturn a vote, as our representatives have actually done the voting. This is why it is so important for all of us to write our congressmen and women so as to tell them what you want done.
