I have inserted my proposal for no compulsory voting laws in the UN. All who agree that nobody should ever be forced to vote accept this proposal.

Your proposal has been deleted already. It was probably under the "Ideological Ban" clause. No doubt the moderators will explain to you their reasoning.

It was deleted because I put it in the wrong category but it is back I have made a new one with the correct category. This way all that agree compulsory voting laws are Un-Democratic can vote on this proposal again.

So... what about non-democratic countries? Or should we just ignore your proposal?

Well as you know you do not vote non democratic countries, so this doesn't effect you, but you can still vote on it if you believe that democratic nations should have free elections. It is entirely up to you if you want to vote for it or not.

OOC: I don't think is (or should be) legal, considering that it's a major game issue (and the first for almost every nation).

We have forced voting in the tradition of Athenian democracy. No citizen cannot serve their conscription, nor can they not vote. The polis has decided that it is in the best interest of the majority of citizens to create a strong responsible citizenry. Freedom and democracy do not mean the exact same thing.

All UN resolutions affect all UN members. If you intend this to be optional, we'll have to delete it again. Better come up with some good reasons ...
