Should voting be made compulsory?

With a large segment of the populace keeping away from polling booths, undeserving candidates have come into power. Will compulsory voting help India?

The government spends over Rs 1,000 crore on the general election, yet a huge chunk of voters don`t exercise their franchise. As a result, we are saddled with candidates who come to power on 15 or 20 per cent of the total votes. The only solution, for a better government, is to make voting compulsory. Do you agree?

Total Votes: 94

Freedom is the right to choose or not choose. The moment people feel they are being forced to vote under the fear of the law, then the country will cease to be democracy - it will be on its way towards becoming an autocracy. Voting should never, ever be made compulsory. Do you agree?

Total Votes: 23

voating should be made compulsory.at the same time it should be 100 % free from fear & misuse of money & qualification criteria for candidate. then there is point in doing it compulsory.
