Participation is the responsibility of the participant.  Registering
or not registering your vote is not our responsibility.

This has a parallel with the election problems we are seeing right
now.  People want to claim they screwed up their vote in order to earn
the right to vote again (until they get the result they want).  The
issue is that your vote is your responsibility.  If you screw it up by
not voting (for whatever reason) or voting incorrectly, then you can't
come back later and try and invalidate the result.
