Do you really want to force cousin cleatus to be involved in the leadership decisions for the country? There are entirely too many people out there with zero clue what the issues of the day even are much less to have an informed opinion on them outside what the nice person in the interwebs/TV told them is the answer.

Not compulsory -- you just get a nice tax credit. Pick a number, but that's my best idea.

Mandatory voting, for people who have passed a morality test, and a competency test.

Nobody else is allowed to vote.

Absolutely not. You don't think anyone deserves your vote, that's your business.

Bad idea as people would simply fill in something random, usually the first one on the list.
