Im in favour of voting being obligatory, with no penalty for ‘spoiling’ the entry.
The so called silent majority needs to actually vote.

@meJess Australia has that law. I don't know if it worsened, improved or had negligible effect on elections.
Some enthusiasts for compulsory elections suggest a box labelled "None of the above", though anyone who fails to understand the simple, proper word "Abstain" instead is not likely to make much of a reasoned choice anyway!
I oppose complusory voting but I have no sympathy for the wishy-washy excuses some trot out for being too idle to vote.

It was actually the silent majority who never voted at all who put Trump back into the Oval Office, not the MAGA Republicans who actually voted for him. To NOT vote at all means that one did absolutely nothing to prevent Trump from becoming President, which means they're complicit in Trump becoming President.
