One thing that should change is for the vote to not be compulsory.People that dont feel like voting, or just votes because they need to but have no idea on who to vote should have the choice to simply not be forced to do it.Hopefully thats something that will change.

I used to agree, but if that was the case, Bolsonaro would have been elected already, since he has so many diehard followers while all the other people were undecided between the other candidates. Instead, I think the votes should be weighted based on scholarity - say, they're worth 50% more if you've finished superior education, and 50% less if you haven't finished high school; and if you haven't finished elementary school, you're not allowed to vote at all. It's a little bit of an "unfair" approach, because it can leave many people out, but if our country was any decent, mostly everyone should have finished high school anyway.

You know that if that was the case Bolsonaro would have won already?
