    you should be able to vote :

    1. anytime
    2. for anyone in the country that have full citizen rights
    3. electronically - privately using your private key signed and acknowledged by gov
    4. over whole period you can change your vote anytime
    5. counting votes and reset should be every 4 - 5 years depending on terms
    6. before counting votes everyone should get notification one month, one week, one day before and only if you didn’t vote hour, 15 minutes before counting
    7. if you didn’t vote your voting account should be disabled and removed from pool until you pay the fine to bring it back.

    that’s all, let’s bring the voting to 21st century lol

      I’m with you almost 100% but add mandatory enrollment, and change the fine to be if you didn’t vote. Even voting none of the above across the board should count as voting though.

        Make enrollment automatic when you update your license when you turn 18, and store your key in your license with an NFC chip or something, so people don’t lose it. And maybe instead of a fine, do a tax credit or some other kind of bonus if you do vote. I think this is one of those situations where the carrot works better than the stick.

        This all requires the government to be technically competent and move their technologies into the 21st century, which unfortunately means none of this will happen this century lol.
