A lot of people don't vote for a plethora of reasons, most likely one of them being that either way they vote them themselves won't be effected much. I could have voted for Kerry or I could have voted for Bush, but either way wouldn't have mattered a bit to me in the long run. When I am personally affected, via a draft, yeah, I think I would vote be a lot more inclined to vote. I sincerely doubt I'm the only person who feels that way.
