The Irrelevant Non-Voter

Hello. According to a cbc.ca article, only 52.6% of eligible Ontario voters (4.4 million people) decided to cast a ballot for the Ontario election. That means 47.4% of the population decided to be irrelevant non-voters.
Why? Especially after there were efforts made to increase turnout, like leaving polls open until 9pm? Admittedly there was rain in my part of the world, but certainly not severe weather.
Would these same 47.4% vote for Canadian Idol contestants? Or vote online for any of the many opinion polls on different subjects?
I must say that after having 3 uncles in World War II, I will never miss an opportunity to vote. It's one of the most precious things in our society. For it to be overlooked at election time is somewhere between unfortunate and inexcusible.
What to do? More tomorrow.
