Well, get everyone you know to vote, then.

Australia, everyone votes or they get a fine. Also, it's on a Saturday so almost everyone gets a chance to vote, and they sell sausages in bread and cakes at the polling stations.

Of course, we still manage to vote in another pack of dumb pricks every time, but at least they have an actual mandate from the idiots that make up most of this country.

I think the point is just to keep lazy people from staying home, or busy people from doing 'more important' things. The law is there just to get everyone to the polls. If you feel some strong conviction to a null vote out of protest or whatever, that's a different things from people who are just too meh to bother showing up.

Nothing. and the everpresent 'draw a cock and balls' vote is always high. I think the point of compulory voting is to ensure that whoever wins has a better chance of getting an actual majority of votes, or preferences.

This is not always successful due to gerrymandering, and said cock and balls protest votes, but it's a thing. And voting in Aus is a lot easier than in teh US. You wander down to the local primary school on a saturday morning, get your name ticked off, have a sausage cooked by the scouts, and then go home happy in the knowledge you have participated in the democratic process.

It's not a complicated thing, you just get the local scouts or football club to come down and set up a barbecue, then they grill up a couple of hundred cheap supermarket sausages and a big bag of onions, and serve them up on slices of Wonder White with sauce and mustard for $2

In Australia everything that is more momentous than "I woke up this morning" deserves a sausage sizzle.

Voting in Australia is pretty good compared to the US. And this way when we vote in a lizardman we at least know he was probably the preferred prime minister instead of arguing about whether the 45% of people who didn't vote would have voted for Trump or Clinton.

e: well, not as much arguing

e2: we did have an eerily similar electoral college vs popular vote argument when Australia was ROBBED of the Eurovision win by Ukraine

Very similar to a Bunnings sausage, now available by drone delivery (If you have $9,000)
