I don't like the requirement of 50% turnout. It is hard to get people to turn out for elections. I wonder if we could get that dropped to like 35% or 40%. Because let us be real here, a lot of voters are only going to vote on Presidential, House and Senate races, and that after you send the 10 pms.
Lowering the threshold is dangerous because of the criminal element as demonstrated in this thread.
Agreed, and lowering the threshold will have the double effect of not giving a clear mandate from the region.
It
should be difficult to recall elected officials.
