Petition Make voting compulsory, with the option of "None of the above" in all elections.

Low turnout in elections means they do not reflect the true feelings of the electorate.

More details

Many people feel that a lot of candidates are not suitable. Making voting compulsory, and giving the option of "None of the above" on all ballot papers, would give a better indication of the feelings of all of the electorate, not just the few that currently vote.
