. In these times where we have to demand our rights, we must unite and vote.
. People do not take conscience and give more importance to other things that are not relevant at that moment and do not go to vote, which is something for all of us, where we also vote every 4 years.
. People are not informed and avoid voting where in these times we should know about it and take the real weight, how important it is to know about politics and stop all the injustices.
. Fell people vote for candidates that we would not like and sometimes that proposals are not the right ones for all of us.

. By voting for a largue number of people and informed people on the subject we could make changues and stop settling for the same thing.

I agree

mariaariasc2 — 2021-07-27 15:51:48 UTC

1. More of the 70% of the population will no vote.
2. It will force to people to be informed.

3. Forcing young people from the age of 18 to vote.

4. Only for the situations important, the people will vote (plebiscito 50%), and it works.
5. If we vote on every occasion, we would not have corrupt politicians, and in that case there would be more laws to the people' favour. Such as the withdrawal of 10% of the AFP

I do not agree

2021-07-27 15:53:28 UTC

-I do not agree that voting is compulsory, if people are really interested in changing the country they would go to vote without being forced

1.there are many invalid votes because people do not know who to vote for

2.very few schools speak on the subject and instruct people

3.If the schools inform a little more about it, the majority would go to vote knowing

Agree

2021-07-27 15:55:58 UTC

In my opinion it would be that if voting were mandatory

agree

2021-07-27 15:56:12 UTC

1.to vote you have to be informed and that way most people should be much clearer about what they want
2.help end democracy
3.mandatory because ontherwise no one feels the need to decide on their rights

paragraph 1

I do not agree

2021-07-27 15:56:42 UTC

because they should not force people since it would be optional

1. don`t force people

2. laws defending their position not to vote

3.percentage of how many people are against

4. Give more information to people

5.reveal the truth about the candidates

I do not agree

2021-07-27 22:39:06 UTC

a) - I think that voting does not need to be mandatory people need more information and interest in these issues. (Politics)
- And as a second, the electoral methodology should be changed.

b) People are going to vote for a candidate that they don´t like or just cast a null vote.

c) - One of the reasons is that people lack Civic Culture.
- And so people participate more in the voting.

I do not agree

ignaciamarambiom — 2021-07-28 14:13:33 UTC

because with the compulsory vote people would vote for any candidate.
It is important that the people who vote know who they are going to vote for, it should not be mandatory.
1.- people who do not vote is because they do not have the means to inform themselves
2.- not everyone has the time to vote
3.- not all have civics education.
4.- Mandatory voting would be detrimental, since the people would vote for anyone.
5.- people would not take the votes seriously.

I agree

2021-07-28 14:14:41 UTC

1- We believe that it would be better if it were mandatory because that way they opened clearer votes according to the opinion of the people because everyone would vote
2- In second opinion, we think that despite being a bit annoying to be obliged to vote, this would lead to a social liking for the final elections since everyone has voted
3-a country without the obligation to vote, would make it not totally certain that there is a political success which is social discontent
4-participation would be much higher
5-because it is great source of information, when all citizens participate, the concept of 'silent majority' is desactivated. It is not a minor matter. When there is a mandatory vote, there are no preferences that are not attributed

Drafting Paragraph 1

2021-07-28 14:53:41 UTC

Speaking for my self, in my opinion, I agree that voting should be mandatory, because that way there are more people voting, it would be more fair and democratic. Also the number of people who vote would increase, since currently the voting rate is very low, it is approximately 43%, which would be less than half of the population

Drafting Paragraph 1

2021-07-29 21:34:47 UTC

In my opinion,I am against mandatory voting because Forcing people to do something optional is something that should not be done. Another reason , they should give more information to people about the laws how many laws defends the position of each human being to be against.

Drafting Paragraph 1

2021-07-29 23:02:11 UTC

To begin with, I believe that people should be more informed, since many times due to lack of information they will simply vote for a candidate they do not like.

Therefore, I think that more information should be given to those people who do not know much about these electoral issues, so that people can come to understand and be interested in these issues.

:)

2021-07-29 23:12:21 UTC

I agree to implement mandatory voting again.

a) 1- electoral participation will increase considerably
2- people will generate civic awareness

b) Stimulate democratic participation, thus seeing universal suffrage as a duty rather than a right,
It is the best way to seek real solutions, in addition to social demonstrations, as long as the candidates comply with what they mainly propose

c) 1-There could be a big change at the national level if all people were forced to vote for those who best represent them
2- the quality of politics increases, with people being forced to inform themselves to make good decisions

( Connector to start an opinion) ~~from my point of view~~ (STATE YOUR POSITION)
In my opinion
because with the compulsory vote people would vote for any candidate.
It is important that the people who vote know who they are going to vote for, it should not be mandatory.
1.- people who do not vote is because they do not have the means to inform themselves
2.- not everyone has the time to vote.
3.- not all have civics education.
4.- Mandatory voting would be detrimental, since the people would vote for anyone.
5.- people would not take the votes seriously.

paragraph 1

Speaking for myself, I believe compulsory voting should be implemented in Chile again because around 55% of the population does not do so only 46.23% people in chile vote for their leaders during elections. The president should be chosen by every person in a country, not by a minority.

paragraph 2

Firstly, statistics by Servicio Electoral de Chile also known as SERVEL reinforce the aforementioned. There's generally dissatisfaction in the population for leaders chosen by minorities (majority in the votes). For example, in 2009 only 6.958.972 people in Chile vote for their president, on the other hand in 2013, 5.697.751 people vote for their president
Secondly, I really think that compulsory voting returns

paragraph 3

Finally, big changes in the country happen when everyone actively participate in the elections. For example, in Chilean National Plebiscite of 1988 around 7.435.913 people participated to decide if Agusto Pinochet wast still or not in power, and in 2020 around 7.562.173 people participated to make a new constitution,

paragraph 4

In conclusion, from my point of view, compulsory voting should be implemented in Chile again, because

only 46.23% people in Chile voted for their leaders, for example, from 2009 to 2013 around 1.000.000 people did not vote, but in 1988 when compulsory voting existed, many people participated to decided if Agusto Pinochet wast still or not in power

Drafting Paragraph 2

mariaariasc2 — 2021-08-03 15:42:52 UTC

Firstly, from my point of view the Civil Education is very important, since at the time of voting you are choosing who represents you and not being informed one does not take this decision with the seriousness that it should be done. The obligatory vote forces people to get more informed and so the results would really show what the population wants.

amandamenar — 2021-08-03 15:43:46 UTC

In my opinion, voting should be mandatory in chile,it is very important in this time where we are tired and we want changues in our country, to vote and to be informed about what is the best for us, to leave this thought of no taking it important.

Drafting Paragraph 3

mariaariasc2 — 2021-08-03 15:43:52 UTC

Secondly, I really think If young people are forced to vote since they are 18 year olds, this will become customary for them and will not be short of their future votes. Further more, it also encourages older people to go. As in the 2017 presidential elections, where the communes with the highest votes were present, a high youth participation rose even 3% compared to other regions. For instance one example is Valparaíso with 2% more participation for to young people than in the rest of the country.

Drafting Paragraph 2

2021-08-03 15:50:58 UTC

Firstly, from my perspective, the only tool that citizens have to generate real changes is their vote. In addition to social demonstrations, the fact that voting is mandatory will encourage people to inform themselves to vote for those who best represent them and thus generate changes.
For example, Bolivia, people who do not vote are sanctioned with a fine that is accompanied by the prohibition of using certain public services and conducting banking operations. This means that participation at the polls tends to be high and in the same way increases their political understanding.

2021-08-04 14:15:34 UTC

I think that if it should be mandatory, it would be something more well formed, so to speak.
Párrafo 1:
Based on what has happened to me in history and seen mostly in the adults around me, I believe that voting should be mandatory since it would help the country to correctly define what The People. And it must be admitted that most of the people who are not willing to vote is why they are not interested in politics in quotes since they are then the first to give their opinion on the matter I do not think that those who do not vote should have an opinion since voting in a duty and if you do not fulfill your duty you do not have the right to express yourself freely on the subject since you did not show any interest when I do not think that those who do not vote should have an opinion since voting in a duty and if you do not fulfill your duty you do not have the right to express yourself freely on the subject since you did not show any interest when You were asked.

I do not agree

2021-08-04 14:17:00 UTC

1.- voting is a voluntary act.

2.- time to vote

3.- interest

Paragraph 1

2021-08-04 14:21:29 UTC

-we believe that mandatory voting should be mandarott due to the large amount of help that both the vote would provide, as well as the information that the votes would give us, i mean that, the more people vote, the more satisfied they will feel with the elections and the more information we would have about what citizens really want

amandamenar — 2021-08-04 14:30:07 UTC

Firstly, thought the vote is to count on the full participation of citizens in order to shape state institutions, form political will and maintain the democratic system.

Secondly,in many countries there is not even the possibility of voting to elect rulers, so if you vote even if you dont believe it, your vote can make a difference.

Drafting Paragraph 4

mariaariasc2 — 2021-08-04 14:37:53 UTC

Finally,I believe forcing people to vote will help the whole country to have a better lifestyle or just a just life, since the decision made will be realistic and over time will help people to be informed and take interest in their own country.

Drafting Paragraph 3

2021-08-04 14:51:58 UTC

Secondly, I firmly believe that there could be a big change at the national level if all people were forced to vote for those who best represent them. Furthermore, the quality of politicians increases, since people are forced to inform themselves in a better way to make good decisions.

amandamenar — 2021-08-04 15:03:32 UTC

Secondly, (R2)voting is a right that we have as citizens is a great tool that gives us democracy. It is fundamental in the citizenship since we see the impact of these decisions such as street improvements, constructions that facilitate us. If we vote and demand our rights we can increase our quality of life.

Firstly, voting is one of the basic forms of democratic participation. by voting, we elect the representatives who direct the future of our territory and, in a certain sense, of our life in those territories, for example, if a ruler defines bad economic policies, this could to increased unemployment, lower family incomes and even higher food prices.

Drafting Paragraph 1

2021-08-05 21:02:51 UTC

In my opinión, i do not agree because voting is a voluntary act. Everyone has the right to decide whether to cast their vote or not, because expressing the vote is expressing an opinion, and if you do not want to do it, you have the right to do so.

Drafting Paragraph 3

2021-08-05 21:37:35 UTC

What is more, people on many occasions, not knowing enough about the electoral candidate, end up voting for someone they do not like or simply place null and end up dissatisfied with their vote. (R1)

Finally, people suffer from a scarce Civic Culture, for this reason there is a lack of personal training and the inadequacy of social culture prevents the development of social relationships thet seeks to strengthen the spaces of social coexistence between people. (R2)

Drafting Paragraph 2

2021-08-05 21:38:37 UTC

Also, the electoral methodology must be changed, that is, using the virtual route or otherwise, since this would increase the number of participants in the elections.

For example, in other countries (Switzerland, Australia and Canada) virtual voting has already been implemented, since voting was reduced to 60% and this was implemented in order to increase the participation of most of its inhabitants.

Conclusion

2021-08-05 22:18:05 UTC

In conclusion, people who do not know much about electoral issues should inform themselves, to get to understand and be interested in these issues and above all learn more about Civic Culture, since it is vital for this type of thing.

drafting pragraph 3

2021-08-06 15:39:52 UTC

What is more, I think we should inform ourselves better, because that way we are more aware of our actions when voting, because the more we get to know the candidates, the more we can analyze the positions, discuss without fear, defend our point of view and, most importantly, choose conscientiously.

finally, (R2)

amandamenar — 2021-08-10 15:45:27 UTC

In conclusion, we have to realize the importance of voting and all the virtues it can have if one takes the responsibility to do so. It is for benefit and we achieve equality in all aspects.

Drafting Paragraph 2

2021-08-10 20:20:06 UTC

Because, not everyone has time to go to vote, some unfortunately cannot because of work or family, speaking of work we mean individual work, because some do not depend on a company, they depend on separate bosses or oneself, if we talk about family issue we refer to health or some issue of legality, so there is the other reason for the voluntary vote. For instance, I have a friend who had covid-19, and if he had gone to vote, he would infect all personnel who are present, the following example is my uncle manufactures windows, he works individually, so he just got a job the day he should go to vote, if he loses that day, he loses that opportunity to work or earn money.

Drafting Paragraph 3

2021-08-10 20:39:08 UTC

(Connector to provide reason) (r2) Speaking of an issue of interest, there are many people like us in this case, who are not very interested in the issue of voting for our own reasons, either because the candidates that are presented are not the ones we expected or just for the simple fact that the motivation At the time of voting they do not convince us at all, so there must be interest when voting since that leads to many factors to be able to choose.
(Connector to provide reason) (r3)

Paragraph 2

felipegomezteacher — 2021-08-11 14:41:23 UTC

Firstly, I believe the laws that support non-compulsory voting are Law Nº20,568 that regulates automatic registration and voluntary voting.

Paragraph 3

felipegomezteacher — 2021-08-11 14:44:36 UTC

Secondly, To begin with we have 80% of the population that does not go to vote because there was "apoliticalism" In 2019 there were mobilizations, stoppages and strikes in many territories of the country, even in remote places. lastly, another reason the disclosure of many candidates also depends a lot since it has been proven that there are many candidates thieves who have robbed banks etc.

Paragraph 4

felipegomezteacher — 2021-08-11 14:45:12 UTC

Finally,the porcentage that was against should not be mandatory, as well as because the candidates and the laws support those who do not vote, there is not enough information about whether they are really good candidates or not.

paragraph 2

ignaciamarambiom — 2021-08-13 12:35:05 UTC

(Connector to provide reasons) + reason + connector to give example and example ,from my point of view because with the compulsory vote people would vote for any candidate.
It is important that the people who vote know who they are going to vote for, it should not be mandatory.

paragraph 3

ignaciamarambiom — 2021-08-13 12:36:53 UTC

(Connector to provide reason + reason)
(Connector to provide reason + reason)
1.- people who do not vote is because they do not have the means to inform themselves
2.- not everyone has the time to vote, sometimes it's complicated.

paragraph 4

ignaciamarambiom — 2021-08-13 12:39:34 UTC

(Connector to come to a conclusion) From my point of view, I am against, since the vote should never be mandatory, it would create disinformation, people would vote for anyone, not all people have or can access civic education.
It is important to be empathetic and understand why not everyone can vote, we do not all have the same reality.
Do not look at it from a privileged position.

I agree

2021-08-15 22:48:08 UTC

1) i believe that if there is a mandatory vote it would be fairer for everyone

2) By not having a mandatory vote, most of the people will not vote, therefore someone who the people do not want always wins, and the one they want to win does not win because they do not have so many votes.

3) As the vote is not mandatory, the people of the government will triumph more than anything, that is why the mandatory vote must be law

http://www.memoriachilena.gob.cl/602/w3-article-3382.html

paragraph 1 :

2021-08-15 23:15:44 UTC

speaking for myself am in favor of the mandatory vote,
the compulsory vote should be compulsory again since that way(Replace this for an opinion connector) it would be fairer for everything and so there would be no political triumph

Drafting Paragraph 2

2021-08-16 15:47:16 UTC

Second, I believe that making it mandatory would decrease political disaffection, because currently people do not trust politics, much less politicians.

paragraph 2 :

2021-08-16 23:03:28 UTC

firlt(Check spelling) The most important thing in my opinion is that the vote be projected again simply because yes, people must understand that if there is no mandatory vote, it is all the more unfair.(Expand this idea, Why it would be unfair?)

Drafting Paragraph 4

2021-08-17 03:07:59 UTC

To summarize, with all the arguments presented, I personally agree with the reinstatement of compulsory voting.
I believe that people should be aware that it is better to see voting as a duty rather than a right, to belong to a democratic system where every action, no matter how small, of any person has consequences, which can be good or bad.
Finally, the quality of politics would increase in a considerable way, since we would be forced to create civic conscience, which is a benefit for everyone.

Paragraph

ignaciamarambiom — 2021-08-17 15:36:44 UTC

2) I am against, since the vote should never be mandatory, it would create disinformation, people would vote for anyone, not all people have or can access civic education.

Finally text: "Like children, they must be forced to do their homework".

mariaariasc2 — 2021-08-17 15:48:06 UTC

Speaking for my self, I think voting must be compulsory, More than 60% of the population does not vote for disinterest in politics, for not knowing or for laziness. If we vote on every occasion, we would not have corrupt politicians and in that case there would be more laws to the people' favour. Such as the wihdrawal of 10% of the AFP.

Firstly, from my point of view the Civil Education is very important, since at the time of voting you are choosing who represents you and not being informed one does not take this decision with the seriousness that it should be done. The obligatory vote forces people to get more informed and so the results would really show what the population wants.

Secondly, I really think If young people are forced to vote since they are 18 year olds, this will become customary for them and will not be short of their future votes. Further more, it also encourages older people to go. As in the 2017 presidential elections, where the communes with the highest votes were present, a high youth participation rose even 3% compared to other regions. For instance one example is Valparaíso with 2% more participation for to young people than in the rest of the country.

Finally,I believe forcing people to vote will help the whole country to have a better lifestyle or just a just life, since the decision made will be realistic and over time will help people to be informed and take interest in their own country.

paragraph 3 :

2021-08-17 16:05:03 UTC

secondly(Capitalization and add comma after the connector) Electoral participation in Chile has decreased significantly and, after the implementation of the voluntary vote, it continued to plummet. In the 2009 presidential election, electoral participation was 59.2%. After the incorporation of the voluntary vote in 2012, participation in the first presidential round of 2013 was 49.4% and 46.7% in the first round of 2017, that is, 9.8 and 12.5 points percentage less compared to 2009, respectively. This decrease can also be observed for municipal and parliamentary elections. As we can see, the voluntary vote did not increase electoral participation. How this argument backup your position towards mandatory vote? Add another reason to support your point of view + connector.

paragraph 4 :

2021-08-17 22:58:07 UTC

finally(Check capitalization) Forcing people to vote would help the country so that everything was fair and realistic, I think that most people do not know anything about politics(In the conclusion you shouldn't add new information. If so, try to add it in the other paragraphs) that is why they are not interested in voting but if they were more informed and there was a mandatory vote they could be interested and learn more about this country.

"A person's duty is where he/she is most useful."

2021-08-19 04:42:57 UTC

Speaking for myself, I consider compulsory voting should be re-implemented, since in this way people would have a greater political understanding and political disaffection will diminish in great quantity promoting great changes at the national level.

Firstly, from my perspective, the only tool that citizens have to generate real changes is their vote. In addition to social demonstrations, the fact that voting is mandatory will encourage people to inform themselves to vote for those who best represent them and thus generate changes.
For example, Bolivia, people who do not vote are sanctioned with a fine that is accompanied by the prohibition of using certain public services and conducting banking operations. This means that participation at the polls tends to be high and in the same way increases their political understanding.

Secondly, I firmly believe that there could be a big change at the national level if all people were forced to vote for those who best represent them. Furthermore, the quality of politicians increases, since people are forced to inform themselves in a better way to make good decisions.

To summarize, with all the arguments presented, I personally agree with the reinstatement of compulsory voting.
I believe that people should be aware that it is better to see voting as a duty rather than a right, to belong to a democratic system where every action, no matter how small, of any person has consequences, which can be good or bad.
Finally, the quality of politics would increase in a considerable way, since we would be forced to create civic conscience, which is a benefit for everyone.

drafting paragraph 1

christiannemieresr — 2021-08-19 21:32:41 UTC

I speak for myself, the vote should not be mandatory since many votes are null and sometimes people vote without knowing which political party is the person for whom they vote or do not know their proposals for the country

paragraph 2

christiannemieresr — 2021-08-19 21:43:06 UTC

Firstly, education on politics in Chile is not very good because they will feel more about what happened before and almost nothing about what happened now.
If you want to know about politics, you have to find out by your own means because the schools do not give that type of information about it, at home there is not much talk so many people go to vote without knowing who they are voting for

paragraph 3

christiannemieresr — 2021-08-19 21:54:44 UTC

Secondly, a large part of the population in Chile votes null because they do not know who to vote for, it is very important to instruct parents so that they teach them what it is to vote and who to vote for, since we all want the best for Chile and not continue living a dictatorship

paragraph 4

christiannemieresr — 2021-08-19 22:01:03 UTC

In conclusion, Chile should focus on teaching the new generations about politics so that voting is not compulsory, but of one's own free will since then one would previously know who to vote for

In conclusion, it is better that the vote is compulsory since it would be more fair and democratic, we must also better inform ourselves when voting so that we can choose conscientiously.

finally, with my friend Adam we thought that the forced vote should not be carried out, because it doesn't matter if not many people vote in the end it always has to be the option of us.

I agree

I accept the mandatory vote.
a)
1) Compulsory voting increases electoral participation.
2) Those who are not informed will be more interested in doing so now.

b) I think that the most important thing is that the people who are going to vote will be more informed about the subject and thus they will know well for whom they are going to cast their vote since they will see who they believe will be a future with more benefit and with that the electoral participation would increase very well and it would not be a vote just because.

c)
1) It would change everything a lot since people would be more informed and would vote for people who would make a change and not the same as always.
2) The majority of the electoral roll votes and there is no abstention on the part of society when voting. Usually between 70% and 80% vote. While in the optional, between 40% and 50% vote in the best of cases.

Paragraph 2

First of all the most important reason for me is that voter turnout will go up by a lot as people will know what they have to do to have a change in the future and they will vote knowing for whom as they will most likely go informed.

paragraph 3

Secondly, people would know more about voting and with that they would vote knowing why they do it and that would provoke a change in the future, besides that people would not think about it and would go, for example in the voluntary vote between 40% and 50% vote while in the mandatory vote between 70% and 80% of the society votes, which shows great changes.

Paragraph 4

To summarize, I believe that there should be compulsory voting since it has been shown that the percentage of society that votes is much higher when there is compulsory voting and people would be much more informed and with that and all the opinions of the people they can vote for someone better and thus make great changes in the future.

Speaking for myself I would say that with mandatory voting people would think better about who to vote for since they would not go without knowing anything and they would be informed before going and besides that more people would go since it is mandatory and they would not think that it is something that if they do not do it, it does not matter, because of uninformed people or people who do not want to go, etc.

In the first place the most important reason for me is that the electoral participation will go up by a lot since people will know what they have to do to have a change in the future and they will vote knowing for whom since most likely they will go informed.

Secondly people would know more about voting and with that they would vote knowing why they do it and that would provoke a change in the future, besides that people would not think about it and would go for example in the voluntary vote 40% and 50% vote while in the mandatory vote between 70% and 80% of the society votes which shows big changes.

To summarize , I consider that there should be mandatory voting since it has been demonstrated that the percentage of the society that votes is much higher when there is mandatory voting, besides people would be much more informed and with that and all the opinions of the people they can vote for someone better and thus make great changes in the future.
