The outcome of the 2024 presidential election is likely to come down to thin margins in a handful of swing states: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
And there’s one huge bloc with the power to determine the winner: nonvoters.
In 2016, 100 million people who were eligible to vote didn’t do so. In 2020, about 80 million eligible voters didn’t vote.
There are a lot of reasons people might not vote, as varied as apathy and not being able to leave work to go to a polling place. But many potential voters — even those engaged in politics and their communities — intentionally plan to avoid the ballot box this year.
If you’re one of them and live in one of the six states mentioned above, we’d like to hear from you. Tell us about your decision in the form below.
You can also submit a video of yourself responding to the questions. Video submissions are encouraged, but not necessary. Look for the option to upload your video below.
We may contact you for a follow-up interview.
