Unless someone is on their deathbed, they will be imprisoned for not attending their district's reaping. The District 12 reaping takes place in the center of town that is called Hall of Justice.
After the first rebellion in which every district was defeated by the capitol, the Treaty of Treason was passed. On this treaty was the Hunger Games. The games are held for two reasons; The first is to entertain the wealthy citizens of the capitol and the other is to keep the districts in line and show that the capitol has no mercy against the defiant districts.
Some districts, such as District 1 , are treated better in the games because they were still loyal to the capitol at a degree. While District 13 was the leader of the first and second rebellions, they were allowed to secede from Panem since they had the trump card of nuclear weapons.
On earlier games, it was the mayor of each district the one in charge of reaping the male and the female tribute instead of an escort sent from the Capitol. It is unknown why or when the Capitol started sending escorts, but since it's revealed that some reapings were rigged so certain tributes would be picked, it may have been an attempt to make it harder for the mayors to use the reapings to their personal advantage. If someone so chooses, they may volunteer to take the place of a tribute who is selected.
This is often done by Career Tributes who spend their lives training to compete in the Hunger Games. It is sometimes done for other reasons though, such as when Katniss Everdeen volunteered to protect her reaped sister, Prim, but this is not done nearly as often as Careers volunteering. The volunteering process is simple in most districts, especially the later numbered ones. But in earlier numbered districts, such as the Career districts, 1 , 2 , and 4 volunteering is a more complicated process since participating in the Games is seen as an honor and victors are highly respected and have great prestige.
For the residents of various districts, any child between the ages of 12 through 18 can apply for tesserae. This supplies them with a year's supply of grain and oil.

To cement their hold over the Districts, the Capitol established the Treaty of Treason , which states the history of Panem, the First Rebellion, and, to remind citizens not to repeat the rebellion, the rules of the Hunger Games were established.
Every year, one male and one female from the ages of 12 to 18 will be randomly selected per district to compete in the Hunger Games. They will take a random strip of paper from each bowl and then announce who the tributes will be.
Children born in the Capitol are not included, and no child in the districts who meet the age requirement regardless of any physical or mental condition is exempted from the reaping except if a child happens to be on their deathbed.
All children who meet the age range are required to show up at the town square where the reaping is traditionally held. Failure for a child to show up at the town square will result in imprisonment. The reapings per district take place at different times so that citizens from the Capitol and the districts can watch all of them live. After the tributes per district are reaped, Capitol citizens can begin placing bets on who is most likely to win. If a reaped tribute younger than the age of 18 ends up winning the Hunger Games, their name will no longer be added to the reaping bowl in the following Hunger Games even if they still belong to the age range where children can be reaped.
If an year old does not get chosen, they are safe since they are no longer eligible to be reaped at the Hunger Games next year. Without tesserae, an year-old person will only have seven strips of paper with their names in the reaping bowl. Signing up for tessera is completely voluntary, though children from the poorer districts still do. A child may get more than one ration of tessera for the rest of their family members, but each person is a strip of paper, thus a higher chance that they will get picked in the next Hunger Games.
Take, for example, the cases of Peeta, Katniss, and Gale. Katniss had been taking tessera since she was 12 for herself, her mother, and her sister Prim.
Like ordinary entries, tessera entries are also cumulative, so she has four strips added per year, meaning she had 20 entries by the time of the 74th Hunger Games, while Prim only had one. Gale, however, is the most extreme. He took five tesserae for his siblings, mother, and himself. By the age of 18, he had 42 entries, so he was lucky to not have been called throughout his Hunger Games eligibility. Taking tesserae rations in exchange for additional entries is a common practice in poorer districts like 11 and 12, and less so in wealthier districts like 1, 2, and 4.
To avoid starvation, poorer children may be driven or forced to add their names additional times to provide for their family, even if they know it increases the chance 0f getting reaped. There are usually only three reasons why a person would volunteer in the Hunger Games. First is to spare the person who was picked and compete instead of them, such as how Katniss volunteered for the Games so that she could save Prim, who she knew could not survive in the arena.
This, however, does not spare the person who was picked from being re-picked in the next few years. So, if the Hunger Games continued, Prim could have been eligible for the next six Hunger Games until she turned Second is when a person volunteers so that they can protect someone else in the games, thus sacrificing their life knowing that only one of them can win.
This was seen in Catching Fire when, during the Quarter Quell Reaping, Haymitch was reaped but Peeta volunteered so he could enter the arena and make sure Katniss lives.
