Voter Turnout Problems and Solutions

Japan just had a very important election, and only a little over half the people voted. How do we solve this problem of participation in democracy?

    I think not voting can be a kind of expression of intentions (Of course, casting a blank vote is a clearer expression.) and that if the problems with online voting system and political education are solved, it also means the possibility of realizing direct democracy by the Internet and we don’t have to stick to parliamentary democracy.

    i think that the low voting rate of japan reflects not only how little people care about politics, but also how little they believe in their country. I’m not saying that Japan is the greatest country in the world, but we must have some faith in it.

    The voting rate of North Korea is almost 100%, but it does not mean North Korea is a good country.
    The voting rate of japan is low, but it does not always mean japan is a bad country.

    I think compelling people to vote wouldn’t be effective in Japan. Those who are indifferent to the politic now would vote for whoever is the most famous or the most popular.

    I’m surprised to know the voting rate in Japan is not very low comparing to other countries.
    I think the youth in Japan should be interested in politic.

    This video is not so interesting, but I like this video because it shows serious problems.

    It’s one of the problems that Japanese have to think.

    I think it’s important that we youth concern about voting because its result affects most our futures.
