Hill is an advocate for compulsory voting, pointing out that in Australia (where voting is compulsory) turnout has remained steady at about 95 per cent, whilst in voluntary voting systems around the world turnout has been on the decline.Walter, B 2012, ''Compelled to Apathy'', radio program, Radio Adelaide, 4 April, https://radioadelaidebreakfast.wordpress.com/tag/professor-lisa-hill/ She has estimated that were Australia to introduce voluntary voting, turnout would decline to 60 per cent. She holds that the decline in turnout is most pronounced among younger, poorer and more marginalised voters, a factor that explains why there is more wealth inequality within voluntary systems: politicians have less incentive to cater to the needs of more marginalised voters, who are less likely to vote in voluntary systems. |
