GUEST,Allen in OZ	BS: Voting in Oz (19)	RE: BS: Voting in Oz	28 Jan 09
Compulsory voting does raise questions re civil rights etc ( but so does compulsory tax and driving on the left hand side of the road ) The key element of compulsory voting seems to be that it does give a degree of legitimacy to the elected government of the day ( provided it got a majority of the 2 party preferences ) It works pretty well here in Oz . Incidentally you do not actually have to vote , you only have to turn up a the polling booth and have you name marked off. But that is another issue. Best wishes Allen
