    Where are you from? How it works where I’m from, is that you’re required to go vote. What you fill out on the paper is no one’s business.

    Just put in a blank paper. Turn up because it’s your duty by being a citizen. We live in a society, not as individuals. People who want to live in isolation and not affect anyone else are welcome to fuck off to the middle of the ocean for all I care.

    Compulsory voting retains majority of Australians’ support, because it makes voter suppression incredibly difficult.

    It’s SOOOO easy to vote here it’s not even funny. We can partially thank compulsory voting for keeping it that way.

    If they tried to make voting harder, everyone would be pissed off, since they’re required to vote. Good luck getting such a reform to stick…

    Unlike in some certain countries where apparently you’re not allowed to give water out to voters in certain states.

    Wild. Dumb. Much freedom to not vote 👌

    Compulsory voting is great. We love it (well, most of us think it’s a good thing. I love it, personally)
