=== Voter apathy === Voters may be discouraged from voting by weak cultural norms around voting. Countries without [[Compulsory voting|universal voting]] signal that voting is unimportant. A voting culture can be developed by reinforcing how voting is valued, expected and a centerpiece of a place's culture,<ref name=":6">{{Cite book |last1=Dionne |first1=E. J.

Some proposals for reform include requiring that every selection have a 'none of the above' option, allow a wide range of valid excuses for not voting for conscientious objectors, and charging a low, non-compounding, non-criminal fee for those who do not vote or select a valid reason.<ref name=":6" />
