Because not voting is the hardest option. Either vote, apply for an exemption, or get (a fairly token) fine. -- nm - mafic Jun 26, 08:11
It's mandatory. If you fail to show, you're taken to the outback and left there. -- nm - mud Jun 26, 08:05 4

- It's mandatory here too. And they will take you to the Amazon and leave you there. Still is about 10pp lower than Australia. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 26, 08:13 2
  - Don’t know what it’s like there, but it’s intensely easy to vote here. People are way more likely to go in and spoil their ballot than not vote. - mafic Jun 26, 08:17 1
    - It used to be harder to not vote, but it is getting easier. - Marlowe Jun 26, 08:25
