Compulsory Voting Advantages
In certain countries such as Australia, voter turnout is as high as 97%, while in other countries such as the United States, voter turnout is around 57%. The reason behind this wide gap, is compulsory voting, meaning electors are forced to vote in elections, or attend the polls, or they may be fined or forced to do community service. Although compulsory voting may seem better when you look at percentages as a whole, it does not guarantee a positive outcome.
Having high voter turnout does not necessarily result in accurate votes. The idea of compulsory voting may seem like a good idea on the surface, but when you dig deeper into the idea, it has more negative effects than positive. Just because you make people vote, does not mean they are well
