He believes that setting requirements for voting will make it a &#8220;coveted privilege&#8221; and ensure that young voters take it more seriously. <\/p>\n<p>According to Ramaswamy&#8217;s website, only 23 percent of people between 18 and 25 vote. By making voting a privilege earned through service or knowledge, he hopes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/vt-gov-scott-signs-bill-requiring-mass-mailing-of-ballots\/\" title=\"Vt.

Ramaswamy claims that his plan would cost nothing since all the compliance mechanisms are already in place.
