Cea mai mare țară în care locuitorii sunt obligați să voteze: Sute de mii plătesc amenzi fiindcă au lipsit de la parlamentare în 2025

Australia enforces mandatory voting, with penalties for non-participation, resulting in high electoral turnout rates. Over 200,000 Australians were fined for not voting in the 2025 elections, contributing to significant revenue for the state. The system, established in 1924, aims to ensure broader representation and discourage political apathy. Critics argue it infringes on personal freedom, while supporters believe it enhances democratic engagement. Other countries, like Belgium and Brazil, also implement similar voting obligations.
