Compulsory Voting In The United States

Compulsory voting is when the government forces their citizens to vote in every election. If people are forced to vote they will become aware of issues around them and will try their hardest to learn about what they are voting for. Americans should be required to vote because it will cause more people to understand the issues that are around them and will increase the rate of voters per election, making more civic opinions heard throughout government.
If the United States has compulsory voting, the people would try to understand the issues they are voting for/against. Joe Heller sites that, “By compelling people to vote, we are likely to arouse them in an intelligent interest and give them a political knowledge that they do not at present possess.”
