    I hate mandatory voting. It should remain a civic duty. Not something that is enforced.

    Instead have voting matter and educate people on it. Look at Hungary as an example. As shitty as their king might be currently, and they’ve voted him in four times already, the country has a consistent near 70% voter turn out, because people just know that not voting means you do not have the right to complain about the government or be angry about their policies when things don’t go their way.

      Australia has an 89% turn out… And that’s the lowest turnout since it was enacted…
