There shouldn't be compulsory voting but we could make it a hell of a lot easier to vote, and actively try and get everyone on the register.
Why can't we vote online, this is the 21st Century ? Security is just an excuse; postal voting and just turning up at the polling station and saying a say a name is no less secure. The changes the Govt. have made recently resulted on many young not being on the register. There may be a political advantage for them in this, but it worked against them in the referendum.
