Yes, although more preferable would be to make voting obligatory.
Under your preferred system, what would be the hypothetical consequence of choosing not to vote?

Anyway, yeah, we probably should.

As has been floated in this thread already, I would just prefer compulsory voting. Failing that, we should obviously make participating in elections as easy as possible, which is oddly opposed by significant portions of people. Make of that what you will, I suppose.

How would compulsory voting work? Would people literally just have to pick one of the candidates?

If there was a Nevada-style "None of these" option, what would you do if "None of these" came in first place?
Hold a new election and prohibit any of the previous contestants from entering?
