No. Voting is a privilege.

Responsible voting is an obligation for those who exercise that privilege.

Compelling people to vote violates the most basic form of freedom of expression.

Choosing not to vote can say many things.
Elected officials know that long list.

@SteelHands In Australia it is compulsory

Australia does a lot of things different.

Like talk bad about other countries presidents, apparently.

Probably get taught those bad manners from your state / business co-op controlled television or papers.

It's your upside down- ness. It often amuses me.
