What are the disadvantage of compulsory voting explain brifely?
Political parties don't need to work as hard to earn votes. Political parties don't need to motivate their base, only the swinging voters. This makes it harder for people to tell the difference between the right and the left. Compulsory voting distorts the true free will of the people by counting government-assisted votes and encouraging non-compliance. Compulsory voting leads to high levels of informal voting, where people avoid voting in objection to compulsory voting. Compulsory voting means innocent people are punished for doing nothing wrong and hurting nobody. Compulsory voting is almost non-existent in the world...just a handful of countries enforce it. And most of those countries can hardly even be called democratic. Compulsory voting leads to people avoiding registering to vote in order to protect their freedom. Compulsory voting means freedom is mandatory. It can't be. It's not true. Compulsory voting favours greater government regulation & control. Voting is how the people exert power over government not how the government exerts power over the people. Compulsory voting increases political apathy. After non-registration and informal votes are taken into account, compulsory voting has lower voter turnouts than many voluntary voting systems.
