When I was in yeshiva, there was a particularly crass youg man running for student government president who was garnering the menuval vote. The evening before the election, the mashgi'ah went into the beis medrash and gave a short speech. Without endorsing any candidate (which would have been inappropriate for a faculty member), he simply reminded students that if they do not vote then they have no right to complain about the results of the election.
As a Jew, I shudder at the thought of losing the right to complain. So go vote.
