Can we make voting non-compulsory?
-
let's be honest, like it or not, there are apathetic and/or passive people, who only care about themselves. What would happen if voting were not compulsory? seriously, some people would rather do something else on a saturday.

what is more important than your own country?
-
It's ok.

so true, but ppl here seem to want to start a revolution. personally i don't like either side, so like I said in another thread, I'm gonna be putting in a blank vote ( I'm not ignorant, I keep up with what's going on ). If that's the case could I rather go out with my friends or have a nice long nap? -

since the target audience is by law 21 and above, i suggest using something that people of that age can identify with... hello kitty

nice!!!!! but won't that encourage more playground fights???

It'll be interesting to watch PAP and WP candidates fight over the Swing then.
The PAP kids would be like re-drawing the sand boundaries to legally argue that the swing belongs to them.

Actually, no. I don't wanna vote cause none of candidates impress me, therefore I find it a waste of time, if if go put in a blank vote, and I definitely don't wanna vote for someone i don't fully support.But I do know of people like that. I'm sure many of us do....

If you do not present yourself to the polling station, (how you vote after that is your own business) what can happen?
You will not be eligible to vote in the next election. If you want to vote, then pay a fee ($5 ?) to reinstate your name.
Otherwise nothing will happen to you.

How sure? That's only your assumption.
There are so many people who wanted to vote but their constituencies have been 'walkover' so many times.
You're a Singaporean (whether you like it or not), exercise your right to elect as a citizen. But then it seems like you're not even 21 yet.

Those who wanted to vote, please start to shift your house to those towns with no walk over ones.For those walkover ones, we leave it empty, see how they are going to walk over??
