Compulsory Voting - Australian Electoral Commission


  • One of my FB friends posted about having to vote- thought

    I would share.
    Question for lawyers. Is it compulsory to enrol to vote? If so, is there a fine? Finally, did you know ECQ has an out for protesters like me that says:

    "Because of my religious beliefs I do not vote. Will I still be fined?

    No, provided you write to us stating your reason for not voting. You must include your full name, date of birth, address, and signature".

    Ergo, a secular political system doesn't make rash demands on people who's faith conflicts with a law, yet dishes out fines for anyone who refuses to vote for the turkey or the donkey.
