>34% of adults in America did not exercise their right to vote.

Or basically 34% of adults in America exercise their right not to vote. If we force everyone to vote like Australia, may be there should be an option of voting blank?

Basically I believe not voting for something is also a right. It is a vote to say ( may be ) I dislike both parties.

Out of curiosity I decided to look up historical turn out rate [1], and was supervised to learn 2024 has the second highest rate in history, or at least since 1932. Highest was actually last election.
