Yesterday I could chose between compulsory and voluntary voting and I chose compulsory. And today I look at my country and see that it has voluntary voting. So my decision didn't matter at all??? :?:

LOL!
You THINK you rule a country, heh?
Obviously there's a higher power in the game here...
But anyway, I would telegram the founder of your region, NOT the issue-maker, that takes ages.
Believe me.
Been there, done that...
Good luck anyway.

If you selected compulsory, it should say so. This is either a bug in the system, or you did not select what you think you selected.

Damn you got me confused now. I think I selected compulsory voting, but then again it was late night... Is there a way to see that issue again?
(Oh no, I created democracy by accident! :lol: )

There's a sticky with the text of almost all issues. The democracy one is #0. In case you don't want to read all the issues (it can be fun to be surpised) here's the text of just that one issue:
#0: Should Democracy be Compulsory?
The Issue
In response to a slow news week, certain highbrow newspapers have stirred up the debate over voluntary vs compulsory voting.
The Debate
1. "Compulsory voting makes about as much as sense as having the death penalty for attempted suicide," says civil rights activist @@RANDOMNAME@@. "You can't force people to be free! You can only give them the choice. Besides, if all those derelicts who can't be bothered to get off their ass once every few years voted, who would they elect? I shudder to think."
2. "It's not contradictory at all," argues political commentator @@RANDOMNAME@@. "The fact is, if not everyone votes, the outcome isn't truly representative. Some groups--like elderly gun nuts--vote more often than others. That's why always we always end up with such terrible politicians."
3. "This raises an interesting issue," says @@RANDOMNAME@@, your brother. "And that is: why do we need elections, anyway? Seems to me it would be much simpler if you just decided what was right, and did it. Wouldn't that save everyone a lot of time?"
The first option is voluntary voting, the second one is compulsory. The third one, is something else entirely ;)
