I see it as giving everyone the responsibility to choose a representative. I don’t think that’s much to ask of citizens in a democracy. It’s not like “forcing” a vegan to eat meat.
I like mandatory voting because it makes more people take an interest, and frankly I find it kind of undemocratic to try to suppress votes from people who might be less informed than yourself.
If they really object to voting they can pay the $20 fine as a conscientious objector.
I can’t really respond to a made up statistic that you read somewhere. People use how to vote cards to choose preferences.
