I'm sure someone's expecting this post, so...

Vote, folks. It's your right.

(readers from countries who do not have an election today need not apply; may contain nuts; candidates measured by volume, nit weight; the value of your vote may go up as well as down (but is worthless if you don't use it).)

"None of the above" would do.

I am convinced that the simple presence of a counted and meaningful[1] "None of the above" on the ballot would increase turnout drastically. People might not vote for it but the knowledge that they could use it would motivate them, I think.

[1] i.e. if it won they'd have to re-take the vote, basically forcing the incumbent to stand down and fight a by-election.
