OV: this is an easy debate to
More to democracy than free and
fair elections
elections cornerstone of
democracy
V- democracy
access to voting is needed
"Conference on Human Rights
N/D"
VC - equal participation
no system is perfect but most
access is prioritized
compare outcomes to see
representation
Democracy require autonomous
people
1NR
1. Question of the type of
compulsion - says voting is good
not CV is good
2. voting is necessary but not
sufficient practice - voting allows
for democracy however requiring
it violates equality, freedom is
necessary AND sufficient for a
demancracy
3. autonomy is best preserved by
freedom - C1 establishes this
1AR
even if you don't like choices, you shouldnt have to vote. they can
can still say thaat
equal freedom only matters if you
can participate - access and the
results are more equality and
freedom
civil rights bill was passed but not
enforce, CV does this
2NR 2AR
decide = who preserves
democracy. If you disagree with
me about ths, we should debate
about it. We shouldn't force
agreement. I win the boycott,
protest are important to the not being exciting had nothing to
process do with preserving demcoracy
Democracy doesnt need
compulsory voting - US is Hill - participatory efforts are
democracy, but CV is not need. needed! not excitement per say; in
NK is a CV country, it is not a a world where everyone has to
democracy vote - the choices change
Jury duty - no one values jury duty Access is key! Compelling access
- if it is important, you need to is different than compelling
have ability to resist. If you force it requirements - force it upon the
it will be something they avoid state to force it upon the citizens
I will framework - you don't have
to compell people to vote and
there are other ways to participate
- no self interest means they
particpate in other ways
anybody wanna pay taxes? no!
This isnt how we want to think
about compulsory voting

C1 : voter supression
participation is key
Leiphart
(participation is high unequal =
unequal influence; systematically
biased against privileged)
helps underrep groups
Harvard Law Review 07
mandates access
Chang (sp?)
Empirically reduces income
inequality
Singh
C2: modeling
US is a model democracy and its
failure hurts others around world
4. Turn around - compulsion
lowers autonomy - forcing people
to vote means they have NO
choice over the matter (ie:
marriage - protect it but cannto
force it)
5. America is a democracy , NK
isn't and NK has CV
freedom and equaltiy are more
important if this contention is
eneded
protests, boycotts, etc. are also
participating in demcoracy by
saying not enough choices
campaigning is more important
Jakee & Sun 06
they know people will come so
they dont do it
my opponent admits that half of all
CV democracies do not represent
equality - only somee!
no risk of other countries modeling
the US in other parts - modeling
our autonomy and freedom is
more important than anything else
part of being in a democracy is
giving up thinkgs to do things
NK's systsem is flawed - Kim will
win anyway
BLM wants people to go out and
vote anyway!
he forgot that BLM is a protest Turn on compulsion for jury duty
that happens outside of the or deals with it - if you don't want
system it is not the same as to do it thats a huge probablem ie:
entering non of the above not paying taxes
none of the above wont work it will
be thrown out We changed the system
campaigning is not key to
democracy or access - if you dont
have money you wont be catered
to so campaigning is bankrupt
Extend Jakee and Sun - the
campaining is needed and makes
people see WHY voting is
improtant
totally conceded and an
independent thing that can only be
addressed with CV

US must unhesitatingly affirm

democracy

C3 - Doesn't restrict rights or

hurt freedom
basic civic duty and makes voting
easier

participate; if people don't
participate it stops existing)
