Americans should not be required to vote. Once an action becomes required by the law, it becomes a chore. Document B shows the difference in rates of adults who are above 30 and under who vote. Ages 18 to 29 are at a little above 50%, while the rest start at 60% and go up. It is evident that younger Americans are not as interested or devoted to our elections.…
Everyone should have a voice and use that voice to help guide this country. In a democracy the people are responsible for electing it’s leaders. If everyone that can vote does not vote then it’s not truly democracy. In the past two elections this country has chosen Barack Obama to lead it. Many positives and negatives have resulted since.…
All in all, mandatory voting should not be allowed because encourages unknowledgeable and uninformed…
Every American citizen must have an equal right to vote. There is no reason which can excuse the denial of that right. There is no duty which weighs more heavily on us than the duty we have to ensure that…
A main argument in favour of compulsory voting is that there will always be a legitimate representation in Parliament of people from all socioeconomic groups and the results will produce an absolute majority as every citizen votes. In a democratic system of government there should be compulsory voting as it is a civil duty. It is a civic duty for citizens to vote for their…
It is very important for everyone to vote. I believe it is very important because it are apart of who you want the next president to be. Most people think that if they don't vote is won't effect anything. Mostly the people running for president always talk about how much better they would make this country but at anytime anyone running for president can make it a better place. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton is basically at war with who should become president.…
In the 1800s things were very different from how they are today. In my opinion, voting is a very important and a powerful thing to do in order to control government. In the state of Texas most of the population can be considered Individualistic. Meaning the belief of limiting government or less government assistance.…
A troubling story that has not gotten much attention this election season — or any recent one, for that matter — is why a certain group of roughly 5.3 million Americans won't be allowed to vote. It isn't because they're underage or non-citizens or mentally incompetent. It isn't because they're unregistered or physically unable to get to the polls. It isn't even because they're limping around with a chronic case of political apathy.…
Making people vote is ruining our already weak name of the "Land of the Free". We have many laws, regulations, and rules, the last thing we need is for our people to lose even more of their freedom. We have our right to vote, and it is our choice, as soon as it becomes an obligation it is no longer a right, and restrains us. Not only do we lose our rights, we lose our time. Compulsory voting would make many people have to make their already busy schedules even busier.…
The weakness of our voting System I have never convinced of the saying, “every vote counts,” when our founding fathers created this democracy they were distrustful of the masses. They designed the system to make sure citizens never had too much power, because if they did they would make mistakes. They set up the Electoral College so “wrong” votes could be corrected. Therefore, I believe that voting is not an effective form of political participation, because the voting system is flawed. I believe each vote doesn’t count as much as it should because of the Electoral College.…
did you know that the united states of america is one of the country with most incarcerared people? every year more men and women are send to difference prisons around our country. in those prisons they rights are violated and they are treated as slaves of our system. prisoners should have the right to vote because they are citizens of this country, their opinion matters as much as our, and they also have expectative with every different president. prisioners should be allow to vote because they been incarcerated don't change the fact that they are citizens of this country.…
Should American Citizens be required to vote Throughout the years, many citizens have fought for the right to vote. Citizens of other countries view the United States as being lucky just to have the opportunity to help choose the person who will be in charge of our country or to help decide how our constitution will be amended. American citizens should be able to vote for many reasons,first being U.S. citizens are the voice of America and are our future leaders and drive the political process. The second reason mandatory voting should be require is because it can get American citizens involved in the government, and lastly mandatory voting will sustain a democratic government. I believe that American Citizens should be able to vote for many reasons, one of the reasons that American citizens should be required to vote is the simple fact that American citizens are the voice of America and without our voices this country would have no one to represent us as a whole; the American Citizens represent the American population.…
Voting in the United States shouldn't be a chore, not everyone in the world has a right to an opinion when it comes to their government. When you turn eighteen it is your civil responsibility to register to vote. On the issue of age, I stand with the current laws. However, to have an educated opinion about a controversial topic I feel that you need to at least understand both sides of the argument, which I do.…
In my opinion i believe electronic voting is a bad idea, because EVMs can be hacked, the machines incorrectly record the votes and by using the EVMs it is very costly. EVMs can be hacked because if you think about it it's just like a computer and they get hacked all the time, the machines sometimes mess up and incorrectly record the votes, using the EVMs is a very costly way to vote, some states can't keep up with the cost and they have out dated machines. In the passage,"Everyone Should Be Able to Vote," It states that,"Our city should use electronic voting machines. " The machines are easy for people with disabilities to use, the machines can also give ballots in many different languages, The passage states that. "Voters with security…
Consequently, not voting would result in a fine or even possible jail time. Although voting is important, citizens should not be punished for choosing not to do so. Mandatory voting laws should not be implemented in the United States because it is unconstitutional, there would be…
