Registering to vote after Oath

[Jackie345ret 0]

I just became a us citizen through naturalization. I know that I can register to vote and uscis officers told us about that during the oath ceremony. Do I have to register to vote? Is it mandatory for all new us citizens to register to vote and vote after that? I am not really into politics, don’t get involved and don’t really know much. At this point I do not want to register to vote and vote in any kind of elections. I am wondering if me not registering to vote and not voting going to create any problems? Like the government and uscis going to think that I am not a good citizen and possibly question my newly acquired citizenship or denaturalize me? Anyone on this forum naturalized and did not register to vote? Any personal experience?
Thank you

I never heard of any case in which some had problems for not voting. Plenty of Americans do not vote. I don’t think there is would be any legal basis for this. Voting is a right not a duty.

It's not their business.

Unless you want to apply for a passport or register to vote on the same day, people just leave after the ceremony.  There is no "experience" involved.
