Most Nonvoters Still Arent Sorry They Didnt Vote [View all]

Over half of Americans who didn’t vote in the presidential election ― 55 percent ― don’t regret that decision, according to a new Pew Research report. Just 44 percent now wish they had voted.


The report, released Tuesday, found the most common reason for nonvoting was a general dislike for their options. Twenty-six percent of nonvoters said they “didn’t like any of the candidates.” Almost as many, 25 percent, said they “didn’t think my vote would matter.”


Among other reasons for not voting, 22 percent said they weren’t registered, 17 percent didn’t have enough time, 15 percent already knew who would win, and 10 percent were unable to make it to the polls. (Respondents were able to select more than one reason, so the numbers don’t add up to 100 percent.)


The nonvoter group was disproportionately young. While those under 30 constituted 16 percent of registered voters, they made up 41 percent of nonvoters. These young nonvoters were especially skeptical that their vote could have made any difference. Thirty-three percent of nonvoters under the age of 30 said their vote wouldn’t matter, while only 13 percent of nonvoters over 50 thought the same.
