Reply to comment by evanthebouncy in Voter turnout in Brazil, by age group - 2022 Presidential elections, 2nd round (30 October 2022 ) [OC] by PandaReturns

I'm from Brazil and I honestly don't like it.
I think most people don't. It sounds a little antidemocratic to make voting mandatory.

Also, it leens a lot for corruption as many politicians might (and do) buy votes of people that don't have political knowledge and otherwise woulnd't vote.

Because loads of those people won't vote simply because they don't have to.

They can still vote blank or null. This doesn't answer anything
