    The right to vote is one of the most important, fundamental rights given to American citizens. Yet, rather than seeking to make more convenient and accessible for citizens interested in engaging in the political process, state governments focus rather often focus time and resources on restricting voting and making the process more complex and difficult. States governments have the authority to determine not only who is allowed to register to vote, but also how the process of voting itself operates. Some states require ID just to cast a vote, such as Mississippi, which placed new restrictions on voting in 2016 which require certain forms of photo ID. Other states, for example Nebraska and Florida, place restrictions on early voting by taking…

Mandatory voting has many benefits that would not only aid the political system of ones country, but also countless other factors such as economics, foreign policy, and the general will of the people. Obama has even considered instituting this type of policy in the very free and democratic United States of America stating, “…mandatory voting would empower these groups and counteract the influence of big money in elections…”[Josephine Tovey].

    Disenfranchisement is the ultimate way to take away someone’s rights. If they cannot vote, they have no way to express what they want in this country, and that can have a major impact when 2.5% of the United States voting population cannot vote because of it. The United States has a higher percentage of people incarcerated than any other country, and it could be changing the direction our country is going in to keep ex-felons from voting. I think voting is a right people in our country deserve, and when a person has served their sentence and is readjusting to the normal world, they should be allowed that right again.
