I heard it, to my AMAZEMENT, on 'BBC News', when they were talking about the upcoming election (on May 3).
I did NOT know that ANY country had compulsory voting.
Now, I am a GREAT believer in voting & rarely (if ever) miss an election that I am eligible to vote.
But, I also think that VOTING should be YOUR CHOICE.
Compulsory voting, to I, feels UNDEMOCRATIC!
You know that it would never FLY in the U.S. of A. Americans would, quite rightly, feel that their rights were getting trampled.So, I am amazed.
It has been the LAW since 1924! WOW.
Interesting, though. I live & learn, everyday. That is why I live ... TO LEARN.
Cheers. 😇
