I think its a good idea for an org. to strongly encourage members to vote and make registering easier(educating members different registering options). However, I am strongly against mandatory voting for a chapter. IMHO, I would much rather have fewer people vote who truly are familiar with the issues, know the candidates, etc. than EVERYONE vote and have a few people who vote based solely on their parent's/friend's views or even worse, just flippantly tossing a coin. This is a really big issue to me. When I told my mom I wasn't sure if I was going to vote for my family's party of choice because I wanted to make my own decision, she was furious. However, I believe my vote counts just as much as hers does and I need to make my OWN decision. Well, since this is a political debate, let me just say sorry if I offended anyone, lol. *meg*
