It’s never too late to get in the voter’s booth.

During a recent interview with MSNBC, Steve Nicks admitted that her biggest “regret” was not using her right to vote until her 70s — and encouraged others not to make the same mistake.

“I never voted until I was 70, but now I regret that,” the Fleetwood Mac rocker said.

“I’ve told everybody that onstage for the last two years … I regret that,” she continued. “And I don’t have very many regrets.”

Nicks, 76, noted that it’s easy to come up with “so many reasons” to stay home — but they are rarely justified.

“You can say, ‘Oh, I didn’t have time. I was this and that.’ In the long run, you didn’t have an hour? You didn’t have an hour of your time that you could have gone and voted?” she asked.

The “Landslide” singer agreed that, if “you’re going to vote in an election,” “let it be this one.”

On Election Day, Nicks plans to proudly cast her vote for Kamala Harris, explaining that her choice came down to one particular issue: abortion.

“We have to find a way to bring back Roe v. Wade,” she said. “We all had to pick causes, this is the cause I chose.”

Speaking about her new single inspired by the fight for reproductive rights, “The Lighthouse,” Nicks encouraged viewers to really “read the words, listen to the song and vote no matter what.”

Earlier this month, Nicks endorsed Harris for the U.S. presidential election, telling Rolling Stone she believes the Vice President “is the lighthouse” or a beacon of light out of the darkness.

“I think I’m totally endorsing her by naming her as a lighthouse,” she told the outlet. “…She is our great hope to save the world.”

Despite the current political turmoil, Nicks said she feels “very optimistic” about the election and has “great respect” for Harris.

Regardless of the election’s outcome, Nicks told MSNBC the fight for reproductive rights is “not over.”

“Whoever wins [the election], the lighthouse needs to keep shining its light and also keep those ships from crashing into the rocks,” the Grammy winner said.

“That’s my idea of the lighthouse being a protector, protecting all those boats and ships that are coming in.”

Nicks noted that musicians have the power to enact change through art — which has been uniting people for decades.

“In the end of the ‘50s and ‘60s and going into the 70s, everyone was writing protest songs — Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell, Stephen Stills — it was lots and lots and lots,” she said.

“I would say to all my musical poets that write songs to write some songs about what’s happening, like I did.”
