Mandatory Voting

11/23/2020

Mandatory Voting?
It is suggested in Our Common Purpose:
amacad.org, Strategy 2: Empower Voters, “that voting in federal elections be a requirement of citizenship, just as jury service is in the states.” Australia requires mandatory attendance at the polls allowing “none of the above” as a vote. Voting turnout increased to 90% from a low of 50% before the mandate.

What, in your opinion, are the pros and cons to the United States adopting a version of the Australian system of mandatory attendance at the polls?

​
Diana Solomon-Glover is librettist to Is This America?, an operatic performance about Fanny Lou Hamer, presented and commissioned by the Santa Fe Opera and performed at a retired oil tanker in Brooklyn Harbor. Is This America? previews the full opera, This Little Light of Mine, which will be presented in full in the coming year.

Ms. Solomon-Glover asks deeper questions about our country, the vote and where we are today.
