Do you think voting should be mandatory?

[Fidelia]

In some countries, they experience an incredibly low turn out of eligible voters for elections. The authorities are considering to make voting mandatory. Do you think it would go against the principles of democracy for voting to be made mandatory?

In some countries, voting is a joke. There is a family that is giving elections to themselves and some figurants that share 1 % election voting between themselves and recommends this person to be voted out.

These are the kinds of things that would make people not to bother voting. Making it mandatory doesn't make sense if the votes of the people do not count in the end.

I think it should be since people must start control politicans. On current rules many people don't go voting but later keep complain about bad situation in country. Maybe some app could help people but then it is bigger possibilty of manipulation.

This is not a good thing. It violates human rights to make it mandatory. I still go for voluntary and not to be forced. Besides, we need to exercise freedom and not be controlled.

I oppose this idea. Politicians want to make rules for almost everything expect for themselves. They can remain on power even when they are in their 80s

Voting is our duty and obligation as citizens of a country. How could a country progress without sharing your valuable vote ?.Vote only to the right candidate. However, not all citizens vote.

Sincerely speaking the voting process does not have to be mandatory as the politicians are fake people.

Making voting mandatory is against the principle of democracy. The very meaning of voting is defeated by that stance.

Because voting in some countries is a film.

In my opinion, voting should not be mandatory. People should be free to choose whether to vote or not. Personally, I lost my faith in politicians, so I stopped voting.

Voting is mandatory of you are already qualified to vote. One will be investigated why do not vote.
