I advocate that less-industrialized countries should establish systems of common pool resources. This means that governments give control to local communities. These communities are then permitted to extract resources; however, there are limits enforced to ensure the regeneration of the resources.

I affirm.
What we ought to do is dependent upon the nature of that thing.

"Yet in fact ... a good watch."
Thus the sufficient affirmative burden is to prove that compulsory voting would be best at achieving the function of a democracy.

Even if CV isn’t enforced, you still get the same benefits. IDEA:
The International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, intergovernmental organization. “Compulsory Voting” No date.
"Not all laws ... the national average."

Subpoint A:
Within country comparison proves that CV causes an increase in turnout. Engelen:

"This method, however, ... reinforce each other (Keaney and Rogers, 2006, 18–20)."

And, increased voter turnout makes elections more legitimate because if everyone votes than you know that everybody’s opinion has been expressed and that whoever won the election won it in a fair and democratic way, Engelen 2:
Bart Engelen, Research Assistant of the Fund for Scientific Research, “Why Compulsory Voting Can Enhance Democracy,” Acta Politica 2007
“Political participation is ... democracy claiming legitimacy.”

B:
CV reduces money flow between elite corporate groups. Harvard Law Review:
"First, compulsory voting ... beholden to donors.39"

Corporations providing money is a huge detriment to democracy since this results in large interests groups having a bigger influence in politics than others. Pettit, Philip (Australian Author). Republicanism: A Theory of Freedom and Government. Oxford University Press, USA (September 30, 1999).
"Before leaving this ... corridors of power."

C:
Currently, voting turnout has to do with social class. Ben Rogers, Associate Fellow of the Institute for Public Policy Research and Demos “Turnout is really about class”, Guardian 2005
"That the rich ... poor gets weaker."
And, empirics verify that compulsory voting closes this gap, Rogers 2:
"In addition to ... jumped to 21."

Low turnout leads to less representative government since policymakers are smart and will craft policies that favor those who are going to vote for them, Engelen 3:
Bart Engelen, Research Assistant of the Fund for Scientific Research, “Why Compulsory Voting Can Enhance Democracy,” Acta Politica 2007
“The more citizens ... participation and influence.”

D:
Compulsory voting results in changes in political campaigns that would lead to more political awareness and engagement. Harvard Law Review (no author). “The Case for Compulsory Voting in the United States.” Harvard Law Review, Vol. 121, No. 2. 2007.
Another indirect benefit ... qualitatively superior, tactics.4

And, this creates rippling effect. Victoria Shineman, center for the study of democratic politics @ Princeton, nyu, "Isolating the Effect of Compulsory Voting Laws on Political Sophistication: Exploiting Intra-National Variation in Mandatory Voting Laws between the Austrian Provinces" 2012.
Lastly, all of ... encounter political conversations.  

E:
By not voting people are taking advantage of the system, Engelen 4:

“Abstention is a ... and its values.”

I will defend that everyone has to take a ballot, with which they may choose to do whatever they wish. I will defend CV as a general principle in all democracies. However, if you so wish, ask me before the round and I can spec to something if you really want me to.
