Summary/Abstract: The right to vote is recognized as a fundamental political right of the citizens. Its universal character is a guarantee for democratic governance. In recent years there has been a decline in citizens’ political activity, leading to a non-participation in elections. The ideas to introduce compulsory voting system pose a threat to aconstitutional right being transformed into a legal obligation.
