Fun fact. In North Korea, voting is mandatory. The ballots are pre-marked with the candidate’s name (I think they run unopposed usually, although there ARE “opposing” political parties that are all controlled by the regime). Anyone who decides to NOT vote for the candidate DOES have the right to do so. To vote against the candidate on the ticket, all that’s required is for the voter to pick up a red pen on a table right beside the ballot box and cross out the candidate’s name. Oh, by the way, there’s no curtain, everyone can see whether you touch the pen and the authorities are overseeing the polling places, prepared to arrest anyone who incites anti-state sentiment or something.
Depends on who you vote for, comrade.

Have fun with the freedom, guys!
