THE PROS OF MANDATORY VOTING:
- Increases voter turnout, promoting a more representative democracy and ensuring broader participation in the political process.
- Encourages citizens to be more informed about political issues and candidates, fostering civic engagement and political awareness.
- Reduces the influence of extreme or minority groups, as a larger and more diverse electorate can moderate political outcomes.
- Enhances legitimacy and public trust in the democratic system, as the government is elected by a larger portion of the population.
- Helps address systemic inequalities in political participation, ensuring that all citizens have an equal voice in the democratic process.
THE CONS OF MANDATORY VOTING:
- Violation of individual freedom and the right to abstain from political participation for personal reasons or ideological beliefs.
- Risk of uninformed or coerced voting, as individuals may feel compelled to vote without proper knowledge or interest in the issues.
- Potential for superficial or random voting, as some individuals may vote without understanding the candidates or policies.
- Increased administrative burden and costs associated with implementing and enforcing mandatory voting laws.
- Does not necessarily guarantee an informed and engaged citizenry, as individuals may still cast uninformed or disinterested votes.
