What if someone really doesn't have a preference? Is it still their "duty" to vote? Why? What if the person is undecided to the end? Why shouldn't they just stay home on election day? Don't say "because so many people fought for your right to vote". I find that irrelevant. They didn't fight for this undecided person's right to vote. They fought for someone else's right to vote, someone who has a preference in this particular election. I don't see the supposed connection between the word "duty" and the word "vote". I see the two words as being completely separate. I think "privilege" or the word "right" may be more relevant to the word "vote", but not "duty".

So if you don't wish to exercise your "right" or your "privilege" to vote, don't, and there's no need to feel guilty about it either, not a bit. Stay home, watch tv, read a book, rent a movie. It is NOT your duty to vote. If you are among the undecided, just stay home guilt-free. You did just fine.

Just because Joe Moskowitz died in WW2 doesn't mean that Shirley Sherman has to vote this Tuesday for someone she feels no enthusiasm for. No guilt, Shirley, stay home and do what you want. Put up with your idiot husband instead, or chase your kids around.
