The proposed bill prescribing a six-month jail term for Nigerians who fail to vote in elections is draconian and a legislative overkill. While encouraging voting is critical for democracy and political legitimacy, compulsory voting risks infringing on individual freedoms.

Democracy by force? You don't fix voter apathy with punishment. You fix it with trust electoral justice and accountability. My take on the compulsory voting bill
