If a particular kind of people do not choose to vote then some other people will vote.</p>\n<p><em><strong>In fact in all the countries of the world not 100% of their population actually votes in nigeria mostly we only have about 55% of the population that votes and this number is still recorded and it is used to decide a new electoral office </strong></em>so there is no crime if people choose not to exercise their electoral duties that is why I think compulsory voting must not exist because it is an infringement on the freedom of people</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"fk3dfevzq","appParentAuthor":"tabontabon","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
