Topic: We should introduce compulsory voting
elections are part of a democratic process, and freedom of expression is a cornerstone of this - making voting compulsory is a denial of the very liberty voting is meant to symbolise.
elections are supposed to be won by the opinion of the people.  if only a select few people vote, then the result only reflects their opinions, not that of the whole population.
ensuring everyone has a voice in our elections is critical to a functioning democracy
every individual should be able to choose whether or not they want to vote
everybody has the responsibilty to give their opinion on what happens in their country
everybody should be made to vote because the who populations views need to be registered
everyone has a right to vote and to not vote if they don't want to.  if someone doesn't think any of the candidates are capable then they shouldn't be forced to put them in office.
everyone has a say at who is voted in and who is voted out.
everyone has the right to abstain based on how they feel they are able to vote on a topic
everyone should be required to vote to make sure that people who are elected are chosen by the majority.
everyone should have the option of not engaging with the voting process if that is their choice.
everyone should take part in voting and making choices for our country.
everyone should vote, and the only way to ensure that happens is by instituting compulsory voting.
everyone should vote, but voting turnout continues to decline. this would ensure everyone takes part in the democratic process.
everyone who can legally vote in elections should be forced to do so.   that is why compulsory voting should be introduced.   nothing is more important than voting for the leaders of our country.
everyone would get a say in what happens if it was compulsory to vote.
far too few people actually vote, meaning that those in government are not truly representative of the people.
far too few people actually vote; therefore, our government is nowhere close to representative of the views and needs of the people.
far too many elections have low turnouts, we need to make sure that everyone votes. how can a government or a referendum be indicitive of the desires of the country if half of them don't express an opinion.
far too people vote in elections as is; the government, therefore, is not at all representative of the people. compulsory voting may fix this.
For me one person one vote is true democracy. Unless people vote we cant have a true feel of what the public want enforcing a vote aids a more democratic government
forcing a person to vote when they know nothing of current issues could lead to them voting for someone that will cause more harm than good.
forcing everyone to vote will cause voter apathy which makes useless or ill informed votes
forcing people to vote is a violation of human rights
forcing people to vote or face a penalty is what a dictatorship sounds like.   compulsory voting is a bad idea.   i don't believe it would change the results anyways.
forcing people to vote reluctantly could make them vote for any random person.
