In Canada, citizens can choose to vote if they strongly believe in a political party. Voting is a right, but not a duty since citizens have the right to refuse to vote if they have no interest in the candidates or their parties (Liu, 2012). Furthermore, forcing citizens to vote could lead to protests in which voters will select a candidate without considering his or her plans, as they vote to avoid sanctions or fines. This will ultimately result in a devaluation of the Canadian vote and lead to long-term damage for Canada
