Tips for your answer

1. Start with clarity of nature of right
Clearly state: Voting = statutory right, but linked to Article 19(1)(a) (choice + NOTA). This sets the conceptual foundation.
2. Balance the argument (core of answer)
For compulsory voting: higher turnout, stronger democracy
Against: violates freedom not to vote, impractical, coercive penalties
Keep it analytical, not one-sided
3. Use committees + conclude smartly
Quote Law Commission of India (255th Report) or Dinesh Goswami Committee → then conclude:
“Awareness > coercion” (reform-oriented ending)
