Compulsory voting
Compulsory voting is increasingly resented by citizens in some countries such as Brazil, the largest country where compulsory voting is enforced: at the last presidential election in 2014, some 30 million voters, about 21% of registered voters, did not vote, despite the fact that Brazil has some of the most severe penalties enforced against non voters.

Whilst the possibility of compulsory voting has gained some traction, current Prime Minister Jacinda Arden has expressed her hesitation, saying that compulsion is an ineffective way to foster democratic engagement in non-voting demographics.
