Those people will not participate unless it's required by law.
Expect at least 1 thrid of the population to never vote otherwise.
Vibes feel like a third, data shows it's closer to half of eligible voters not participating in most recent elections.
Rates have varied wildly in the US, but the last several decades (except for Biden's last run) have been low, and this is by design. Advent of media has allowed political factions to disrupt each other on a much larger scale, and the general population is too vulnerable to these attacks and appeals, and instead of making people want to get involved, the chaos makes people not want to learn the truth, so we have had elections with barely more than half of eligible voters participating.

I think you need to take a break from the internet and walk around in the company of live humans.
