A number of ideas to increase voter turnout were put forward by delegates: <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#1- Make it digital:<\/strong> A number of participants called for the law to be amended to allow for electronic voting, which they argued will make voting easier and more accessible. The idea seems to have the backing of the dialogue\u2019s chief coordinator, Diaa Rashwan, who said that it would increase the participation of expats, only 3.5% o f whom tend to vote in elections. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#2- The carrot:<\/strong> Giving people a day off could be the answer, according to Rashwan, who proposed making every election day a national holiday. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>#3- The stick:<\/strong> Don\u2019t want to vote? You could pay for it through your wallet under a proposal also backed by Rashwan which would see people who choose to abstain handed EGP 500 fines. <\/p>\n<p
