Full Idea
If rights concern people's interests, that might support mandatory voting, but if rights rely on protecting autonomy that might oppose it.
Gist of Idea
Rights as interests (unlike rights as autonomy) supports mandatory voting
Source
Tuckness,A/Wolf,C (This is Political Philosophy [2017], 5 'Interest')
A Reaction
I approach it from the other end, and am inclined to support mandatory voting, which suggests I am more concerned about interests than about autonomy.
