I am for compulsory voting, and against compulsory full ranking.

I also support the "None" entry among the candidates.
I see compulsory voting as a method for eliminating any bias in
tendancy to vote among the voters. An example of a problem bias is
this: Rich people in rich areas have nicer cars, nicer roads and
nicer voting places making it easier for them to vote. Compulsory
voting is a blunt solution, but it is a solution.
By compulsory voting, I mean there is compulsion to attend a polling
booth and stand in line like everyone else. How you complete your
vote, or not, is a private matter.
