Agree.

TBH the sooner voting is made compulsilary the better.

Disagree. The size of the turnout is a powerful message to politicians
that they better find out why it is low.


I disagree - many people are just too ungrateful to those who fought for
their right to vote to be bothered.

For "non of the above" there is the option to spoil the ballot.

60% spoiled ballots would send a far more potent message than 60%
no-show as the politicians can wish away the latter as "lazy" or "don't
really care".
