You mean actually get in your car and drive to a designated site to complete a ballot on site and turn it in?

that’s quite a lot for many citizens. Sure I wish people took it more seriously that would be a priority, but they do not

Some countries fine the citizens who do not vote. I think it’s Australia or New Zealand Land among others. I find that approach interesting but I would not want us to start it up.

edited to fix “fine”
