Nah, go the other way. Make voting a requirement. You vote, or you don't participate in society.

[–] Liz@midwest.social 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Among other things, yeah, we really should make voting mandatory.

[–] ironhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Yes. we. should.

The only reason to restrict voting is to keep "undesirables" from having a say in government.

In a fair government everyone should be represented. The only way to even approach that is to make it a requirement that everyone votes.

Maybe include an update to proportional election systems so that you can have more than two parties/better representation?

Definitely not a bad idea. But we gotta start somewhere.
