If voting is not a right, then the people in power will discriminate between people on the basis of race, language, religion and color of skin. Creating an equal society where everyone has a right of selecting their representatives would keep all people positive and the society would be more tightly knit with less conflicts. Otherwise the society would be dominated by people of one type, whether it be color or religion, and they would suppress people who are different. Such a society would never be stable and would always have lack of justice and lack of trust among people.
US
15th amendment (1870) gave african americans the right to vote
19th amendment (1920) gave women the right to vote
26th amendment (1971) gave right to all above 18 years of age
UK
In 1918, all men above 21 and all women above 30 got right to vote
In 1928, all women above 21 got right to vote
This responsibility puts an undue burden of responsibility on some people who either do not have the information or the time to form a judgment about who is the right candidate. Its not fair to punish people who don't want to vote for each candidate. It's there right if they want to vote.
If people are forced to vote, some people might just make a wrong choice in haste to avoid the penalties that might be imposed by the government on those who do not vote.They would not think much and just vote randomly. This might lead to a wrong choice.
