Voters and Non-voters

As you learned today in Chapter 6 Section 4, there are many reasons why people decide not to vote or just plain can't vote. Give one very detailed way or a couple of general ways that we as a country could get more people out to vote. Especially considering that some elections see as low as 50% of the electorate voting in elections for the President. This doesn't take in to count that local elections for mayor, city council, school board, etc... sometimes sees as low as 10-20% voter turnout. Think about the ways we could try and get more people involved. What would you do if you were in charge or could wave your "magic voting wand"?
