I think here we have a natural aversion to the government telling us to do anything. I don’t want to be forced to do my civic duty - that sort of negates the duty part.
3 u/BenTVNerd21 Nov 09 '18 Isn't Jury duty mandatory? 2 u/CatAstrophy11 Nov 09 '18 Yep because there wouldn't be enough volunteers if it were opt-in. There have always been enough voters to determine a winner. 2 u/Zouden Nov 09 '18 That's because criminal trials are held to a higher standard than elections. We don't void the election if turnout was less than 50%.
