Should voting be compulsory for all citizens or people should have the freedom to choose not to vote? What is your opinion?

The idea of a mandatory voting system is widely debated, with many people claiming that forcing people to vote does not appear to be rational at all in a democratic environment. However, I do not entirely accept this and I will explain why in this
essay.

There are myriad of arguments in favor of compulsory voting. / The arguments in favor of compulsory voting are myriad. The conspicuous one is that in order to get an authentic reflection of people’s perception an election, each and every adult has to exercise his or her suffrage. It not only enables the citizens of a country to choose the right leaders they want to see in the government but also ensures that the country does not select the leaders who are not honest, sincere, dedicated and accountable.

This is because the majority of the population cannot be unanimous in choosing wrong leaders. Needless to say, thanks to all these upsides, the country stands in good stead, when it comes to good governance and effective/efficient/efficacious management. Another pivotal aspect of compulsory voting is that if people have the freedom not to vote, many people will not feel any pressure to exercise this democratic right. For example, unlike countries such as India and Pakistan, which do not force people to vote and so, the turnout of voters is very low, countries with stringent penalties for not voting such as Australia usually have higher turnouts, thus making the election a fairer one. Hence, it is apparent why many are against offering any leeway to voters for the sake of democracy.

From what has been discussed, one can observe that the benefits of compulsory voting are indeed too great to ignore.
