The Irrelevant Non-Voter II

This blog is written mostly tongue in cheek. Some points may be informative. Please provide your feedback.
If you suffer from self-irrelevancy, please seek professional advice.

Hello. What to do about non-voters? I'd start a campaign right now if I was Elections Ontario. Give examples of what happened in other countries/provinces/etc when turnout was low.
I'd also look to see what could make voting even easier. Maybe explore voting online. See if it can be secure enough.
Taking a census a year before the election would ensure the voter's list is more accurate. Right now I believe they're working from an old list. As a result, the 52.6% could be high or low. No one knows for sure.
Maybe giving a tax credit to people who vote could also help. If someone got, say, $500 taken off their taxes for voting, it could be a big incentive.
More tomorrow.

Regards,
Irrelevant
