Liberalism

Strongly agree

Yes

Liberalism generally supports policies that make voting more accessible to everyone, arguing that higher voter participation strengthens democracy. Automatically sending mail-in ballots to every voter is seen as a way to increase voter turnout, which aligns with liberal values. Historical references include liberal support for the Voting Rights Act of 1965 in the United States, which aimed to remove barriers to voting for racial minorities.

Agree

Yes, but add stricter requirements for eligibility and verification

While liberals generally support making voting more accessible, they also recognize the importance of ensuring the integrity of elections. Adding stricter requirements for eligibility and verification for mail-in voting, provided these requirements are not overly burdensome or discriminatory, could be seen as a reasonable compromise to both increase access to voting and maintain electoral integrity. This reflects a nuanced liberal position that values both accessibility and security in the voting process.

Agree

Yes, and making voting compulsory

While liberalism supports increasing voter participation, the idea of making voting compulsory is more contentious. Some liberals may argue that compulsory voting infringes on individual freedom—a core liberal value—by forcing people to participate in the electoral process. However, others might see it as a necessary step to ensure full democratic participation. This mixed view results in a moderate score.

Disagree

No, mail in ballots should only be used by voters who are physically incapable of making it to a polling location

Restricting mail-in ballots only to voters who are physically incapable of reaching polling locations would likely be viewed by liberals as too restrictive and a potential barrier to voting for others who might also have legitimate reasons for needing to vote by mail, such as work obligations or caregiving responsibilities. This stance does not align well with liberal values of inclusivity and accessibility in voting.

Strongly disagree

No

Liberalism typically opposes policies that could restrict voter access or participation. Not automatically sending mail-in ballots could be seen as a barrier to voting for some individuals, especially those with limited mobility or access to polling places. Therefore, liberals would likely disagree with this stance.

Very strongly disagree

No, and add stricter requirements for eligibility and verification

Adding stricter requirements for eligibility and verification could be perceived by liberals as a form of voter suppression, which goes against the liberal principle of making voting as accessible as possible to ensure broad participation in the democratic process. Historical examples include liberal opposition to voter ID laws and other restrictions that they argue disproportionately affect marginalized communities.
