I would support mandatory voting just to remove the temptation of voter support from politicians. Plus I believe in a proportional representation and mandatory voting would be one aspect of that. That being said there should always be an I object option for those that don’t like any of the candidates. Plus if you don’t vote, I wouldn’t make the enforcement mechanism (probably a fine) onerous (maybe $3)

I would love to see voting day as a national holiday in America. I would also love to see it easier, like voting online or something to that effect. I do not think it should be a mandatory thing, but certainly an easier one.

I disagree with making it compulsory as people would either vote without consideration or punished too severely should they be unable to get to the polls.

I do think that it should be made easier for people to vote.

There is rarely a candidate left wing enough for me standing in my constituency in the UK. Why should I be forced to vote for a candidate I cannot fully support?
