Advani does a Modi, calls for compulsory voting Updated - 11/3/2010 - indianexpress.
Observing that voting percentage among the educated section was far lower than that in the lower rungs of society, senior BJP leader L K Advani has favoured compulsory voting as a remedial measure. "If a survey is taken of the comparative percentage of voting in different sectors of the society, classified education wise, I have little doubt that voting percentage among the graduates, post graduates and those in the still higher categories, would be far, far lower than at the lower rungs of society," Advani says in his latest blog. Arguing that such a situation is bound to affect the quality of Indian democracy, he said, this can be changed through the simple measure of compulsory voting. "...I feel it can be (changed). One simple way is the innovative measure adopted by Narendra Bhai Modi - compulsory voting," he said.
