Voting and Evolvement

Voting has Evolvemental significance for both the collective and the Individual. For the Political entity, Freedom is the Material Principle, i. e. its Becoming-Diverse, and Equality is the Formal Principle, i. e. its Becoming-the-Same. So, since Evolvement is an increase of the Material Principle without loss of the Formal Principle, electoral processes, namely an exercise of Freedom in which Equality is also promoted, constitutes an Evolvement of the Political entity. For the Individual, voting is a process of deliberately going outside oneself, so, in other words, it is an Action in which one Evolves. Since, voter suppression is antithetical to Political Evolvement, Universal Voting Rights are entailed by Phronetocratic Principles. Furthermore, since voluntarily not voting is contrary to Individual Evolvement, making voting mandatory, with 'none of the above' as an option, is a promotion of Evolvement, and, hence, is Phronetically justified.
