Make voting compulsory, adopt automatic voter registration, and make election day a national holiday.

Make elections either a holiday or a weekend. Tuesday voting at this point is inane.

Voting day being on the same day as a working day with polls closing sometimes before people get off work is a feature not a bug.

What a reprehensible thing to say.

"Junk country", you said, and yet here you want more people voting.

The pathetic rate of participation in the political process is a large part of what's making it a junk country.
