Washington (CNN) Former President Barack Obama is urging young voters to get to the polls next month in a new video that "tackles seven commonly made excuses for not voting."

The nearly five-minute video was released on Wednesday by ATTN: and features Obama reading and responding to the seven reasons, which include: "I don't care about politics," "I don't know where I'm supposed to vote" and "Midterms are boring."

Although Obama doesn't explicitly refer to young people, a news release accompanying the video says the clip "targets the ever-elusive young voting block."

"You wouldn't let your grandparents pick your playlist. Why would you let them pick your representative who's going to determine your future?" Obama says at one point.

"I understand that it's not always easy to find time to vote on a Tuesday.
