Answer 1

Almost all the nations in the world have adopted democratic style government. America is one of the largest democratic countries in the world. The most important part of a democracy is voting to elect the rulers of the country but sadly, people who opt to go to the voting booths are drastically going down. This is a major concern for any democracy because very few people would be electing the one who would rule everyone. So, voting from home system was introduced and it was found to be very much encouraging to see the number of voters go up. In order to study the impact of residential voting ballots, political research firm Pantheon Analytics on behalf of Washington Post analysed the data from Colorado where the system was introduced and then introduced to Oregon and Washington. The results confirmed the assumption. People don't go to the ballots that are set elsewhere from their homes. They also don't want to stay in the queue and vote. These reasons prevented them from going to the voting booths. Voting from home has taken care of these problem and this system should be expanded to other parts of the country and it should be effectively implemented in order to protect democracy.
