Additionally, logistical challenges, such as enforcement and the need for increased voter education, are cited as potential barriers to implementing such a system effectively.

Do you think mandatory voting will work in the US?

No. We are a democracy and not a totalitarian government and in a democracy people have choices. They can vote, not vote, write in names. Even though 42% of the eligible voters didn't vote in this last election that is their choice, but at the same time by not voting they also give up the right to complain about the result. In order for a democracy to work the citizens need to be involved.
