Going passed the disinformation in your first line. The people who vote are all that matter in a democracy. The others are basically dependent on their decision making regardless of if its because they can't or won't.

Why do different elections have different vote totals? Why is non-voting a significant bloc?

By design. Voting day is not a holiday and on a work day. Poor and working class are disenfranchised as a result. Fewer turn out because it's not worth skipping work to stand in voting lines for hours.

Yes, why does this count vary from election to election?

Shit. I think I replied to the wrong comment with this. Sorry.
