Yup, but I believe that is one of the reasons cited by people - other demands on their time - for whether or not they vote or become involved in different political activities.
I think you have to also be cognizant that some people may fall into the following categories:
A) They are honestly too lazy to go and vote;
B) They don't feel it will really make a difference, or that anyone will actually listen to them, etc. I.e. the 'why bother' type of thing; and
C) Many people (a lot of youth may fit in here) are actually "voting", or being political, but not doing it the traditional way. They would rather engage in things in different ways than the traditional.
Anyways, just my 2 cents. Its a complex thing.
