UnderstandI found some more interesting information on the reasons why eligible (even enrolled) voters don't vote.
In 1935 around 92% of New Zealand voters turned up to vote. By 1972 it was down to 80%, and in 2002 around 72%. A large chunk of these non-voters are younger people.
In 2011 42 per cent of 18 – 24 year olds didn’t vote. Rising youth non-voting rates are cause for concern.
