Why Liberals Can Favour Compulsory Attendance
POLITICS 3 (29):218-222 (2009)
Abstract
It has been argued that compulsory voting conflicts with a number of liberal commitments, such as free thought, free speech and privacy. This article aims to show that compulsory voting, which is actually a misnomer for compulsory attendance, can in fact be defended on a liberal basis. If understood correctly, compulsory attendance laws and liberalism fit quite easily together.Author's Profile
