Voting Should Be Mandatory In The United States

Do you find it aggravating when men and women complain about the president? In the United States of America, nearly one hundred and thirty-nine million Americans vote a year, according to the United States Election Project. More than eight million Americans won’t vote on Election day typically, because many Americans simply don’t think their vote would matter but that's not true. Every vote counts just as much as anybody else’s vote This is the reason why I think voting should be mandatory. If the United States passed a law that requires American citizens to vote then this would change the percentage of voting tremendously and make a big difference in this country. Today, I will be discussing the benefits of having mandatory voting in the United States and how it can help our country.

To begin with one of the main reasons that voting should be mandatory is because you want to have a say in the presidential election.

Just one vote can have a lot of significance. People who usually don’t vote in the United States are young, lower income citizens, usually don’t have the time to vote because they're working hard to get towards the middle class, or just uneducated about voting. Older and wealthier citizens tend to vote. Just imagine the benefits of mandatory voting it would most likely reflect the opinion of the whole nation, especially including the poor who tend not to vote when its elective. Also, it will decrease the likelihood of special interest having undue and extra influence on government policy. My position on voting is that voting should be mandatory considering it is the American right to vote. By making voting a mandatory law, this will make the American have to go to the poll to vote for this too should be the Americans duties and as a citizen to

participate.

Secondly, if we made voting a mandatory law, it would accumulate people's political appreciation. If voting were mandatory the younger generation of citizens would actually be interested in the presidential election and the candidates. If mandatory voting were to become a law in the future this would educate people to gain knowledge about the presidential election and may help citizens make reasonable choices. When citizens who are actually participating and getting involved in political stand of view. We need everyone to engage in politics so we can do what is best for our country. Politics are highly major to know about considering we need to know what is going on around us and if there is political decisions being made that could affect our lives.

Lastly, if voting was a mandatory law if every American citizens were to vote it would be very inexpensive. If the whole nation voted it would be whole lot cheaper for each of the candidates because each candidate would not have to spend as much on campaign ads. The process is very expensive so by making voting a law candidates would not have to spend billions of dollars on campaigning. Also, this will be very good on our economy and our country as well. Additionally, electors who fail to vote at a state election will be penalized. If not participating the citizen should provide a valid and inadequate reason for not appearing to the state election if the citizen does not have a valid reason then this citizen will be fined of twenty dollars if the citizen continues to fail to appear then the fine will increase to fifty dollars.

Thus, voting should be mandatory in the United States of America. Every citizen would like to have a opinion on our nation so by voting this would help give your judgement. For the most part, voting is our duty as Americans citizens to participate in the United States election. By making voting mandatory this would help our nation to gain more knowledge about our politics and country. Not to mention, if every citizen votes it would help Census Bureau keep track with the exact population by knowing how many people are in the United States of America.
