So, the Belgian community elections are over. I voted for the first time unwillingly! I was OBLIGED to vote because;

1 I'm a Belgian
2 I'm 18

That's insane!! Either I voted or paid a fine!! I don't think we should be forced to vote!

Does this happen in your countries?

Nope, not in the USA. If you don't want to vote you don't have to. Only problem with that is that everyone complains about who's in office when they didn't even vote. In my opinion, if you don't vote you shouldn't complain.
