As part of a new CNN project called Change the List, I'm trying to create a conversation that could change that. But I'll need your help to make it work.

When you find someone you like, send them a message on Twitter, YouTube, iReport, Instagram, Facebook -- wherever, as long as the post is public.

You also can send video messages to the nonvoters in the comments section at the bottom of this page. Before I go, a half-desparate appeal to civility: These people kindly and bravely agreed to be part of this experiment. Please treat them with respect. Give a piece of your story: Why do you vote?

After the election, I'll report back on which, if any, of these nonvoters changes their minds. Subscribe to the Change the List Tumblr for updates. And thanks for your help!
