Compulsory voting should be introduced in the UK and made a law

Petition Details

Voter participation remains an issue in the UK, and since the most recent EU referendum there was a low turnout of young people voting.

Additional Information

Participation at elections is a citizen's civic responsibility and as a result, voting at elections and referendums and so forth should be made compulsory. It should be made a law that everyone must vote.
