The first time I voted in Holland after coming of age, so to speak,
it was also compulsory. Maybe we should get a $25 tax credit for
voting, but unfortunately that doesn't guarantee candidates that you
wold want to vote for.


How about they add $500 to your taxes, and you only get it refunded
if you attach your voting receipt to your tax return.


If someone needs financial incentive, they shouldn't be voting to
begin with.

a) I have so far never received a receipt for voting, either in NY or
NJ.

b) I really do think that financial incentives are very important in
voting behavior, though so far mostly indirectly. "Tax the other guy,
not me".
