| Popis: |
This chapter examines past and present debates over compulsory voting in Canada and the United States. It also considers the likelihood of the adoption of compulsory voting in both countries, paying particular attention to their legal environments and federal political structures. It then goes on to examine mass attitudes toward compulsory voting in both countries, and considers the potential consequences of the adoption of compulsory voting in Canada and the United States, beyond the almost certain increase in their relatively anemic turnout rates. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the prospects for higher voter turnout in Canada and the US, with or without compulsory voting. |
