NSDA Lincoln-Douglas Debate: Compulsory Voting (NEG)

Compulsory voting violates human rights and makes democracy worse, not stronger. The right not to vote is one of the rights democracy is supposed to uphold. There are very legitimate reasons why many do not vote and forcing them to do so against their will is wrong. It mistreats the citizens and the consequences of uninformed and unwilling voters choosing the leaders ultimately makes the entire nation worse off.
