Voting is a civic right and should not be made compulsory to stat with
this is the more reason these people are destroying the educational system and values in the country. to think a learned follow voted these men into office. the less educated and enlightened the majority of the population and electorate are the better for the ruling class and politicians polithievecians.

The speaker mentioned Australia and other developed countries as examples, the truth is; has Nigeria as a country attained the level of election requirements or its obligation?

You want to be exactly like Australia but you have not done what Australia did but just want to skip processes to forcefully voting.

Out of 90 million voters in NIgeria, only 21 million turned out in 2023.

If there had been a compulsory voting law, I betcha, tinubu would have lost. Hands down.

We Nigerians were busy grumbling and complaining about the law.We don't realise that the APC government had for a moment handed us the key to dealing with them throwing them out live... in 2027.

Anyway, that is how we always shoot ourselves in the foot. We oppose good laws, and then we start crying when we see the consequences.

In elections all over the world, government benefits from low turnout. Opposition always wins with high turnout. Make we dey wake up.

Compelling us to vote is not the issue...will the votes count?

Make a law that addresses rigging. Strictly electronic voting.... everyone should see the results reflecting live as people vote.

Hunhun don't withdraw it because we're are practicing communism. Voting in a democracy is by choice and not by force,you can't force me to vote any party or individual their beliefs and ideologies if there is any doesn't align with my belief.

Political elites and government should instead makes voting attractive to the electorates instead of forcing them.
Konskott(m): 3:57pm On May 26
I felt disappointed that you at your level brought up this bill. It lacked common sense and logic. Even a primary school girl will never such a proposal in a school debating contest. I almost thought you were a school dropout to have drawn up such a bill. Please think deeper, consult with constitutional professionals before you sponsor a bill. Forcing people to vote will never work in a country where people don't have confidence in the electoral outcomes. Only credible elections will make people to embrace voting when they know that their voices and votes will count. I scored you low on this.

Oga speaker despite I'm Tinubu er you can not force me to vote I don't care if any country practise it mine is you can't force me to vote. If its only 10% that participate in voting count it and declare the winner and whoever among the remaining 90% not please with the result can go to court.
