Voting is a very special thing for us people. It is special because we get to take part in choosing what we would like in the government, for who we want to control our province for the next four years. This is a very important privilege that everyone should take advantage of because not everyone has this chance. So the question is, "Should voting be mandatory?" and be fined if they don't? My opinion is yes, because some people complain and say "Why did he/she get voted?!" even though this person didn't even vote.
I think that everyone should vote, because they've been given the privilege to have the chance to vote and they choose not to, I don't get it. I know many people are very busy with their kids and work but my parents are one of those busy people and they still had time to vote. It's not that hard to take five minutes of your day to go vote. Also I'm sure there are some people that are just too "lazy" to go vote and what good does that do to the government, they aren't helping anyone by siting on the couch. To win an election I think that the candidates should get everyone's vote so they truly won the vote to be the leader of the province. The fine for not voting I think shouldn't be too bad but enough to make that person vote the next because they don't want to pay the fine.
In conclusion, I think that people should be fined for not voting. I'm sure many other people have way different opinions than me but this is my opinion. It's a privilege to vote and people have to take advantage of that, consider ourselves lucky. So people that don't vote should vote next time, just take five minutes of your life to take part in this voting for the government.
Hello, Brendan, this is Jun. I have just read your reflection post about why people should be fined for not voting. This post was very organized, with introduction, body, and conclusion. I clearly understood your way of thinking because it was all shown in your post. Overall, I think this post is very good but my advice to you would be is to give more reasons of why people should be fined for not voting to give your audience more idea about your thinking. Nice Post!
