Abstract

The article deals with selected methods that can help increase voter turnout in the elections in the territory of the Slovak Republic. This paper describes methods based on data from several countries around the world that have decided to apply them to increase the involvement of citizens in the electoral process. The first part of the paper is devoted to compulsory voting, which also applies in several European countries. The second part of the paper analyzes the mechanism of electronic voting through modern information technologies. The article also presents several data that influence the introduction of this form of voting. It is primarily about socio-economic indicators, such as the population’s age structure, the proportion of the university- educated population, or households’ access to the Internet. Through the paper, the author also mentions various shortcomings that legislators and society will have to deal with to increase voter mobilization in elections. Keywords: voter turnout, compulsory voting, electronic voting
