at best anyone can have a right to vote (and you are spot on correct, the equal
right not to vote)
the obligations are moral entities of no import in anys ense.
much less so in the political arenas

Subject: [lit-ideas] "A right and an obligation"
I am recently hearing things such as: "We have a right and an obligation to
vote." Can something be both a right and an obligation ? It seems to me that
the concept of "right" entails a notion of choice (you can choose to do it or
not to do it) which the concept of obligation clearly does not. Any opinions on
this ?
O.K.
