Sommario/riassunto: | About a quarter of all democracies today legally oblige their citizens to vote, making this an important aspect of electoral systems in many settings. Moreover, numerous commentators and policy-makers in voluntary voting states are coming to view mandatory attendance at the polls as an attractive option in the context of declining turnout.

This volume fills that gap by providing a comprehensive description, analysis and evaluation of compulsory voting |
