Void old boy,you are talking ex anus.
Australia does NOT have mandatory voting:
We're obliged to register to vote at age18,and obliged to attend polling booths to have our name marked off the list. There is no obligation to actually cast a vote.
I know several people who have never bothered to register and I forgot to vote one year. Nothing happened.
PLUS studies I read at university showed [counter intuitively] mandatory voting makes no difference to the political make up of a government.
