Why is it compulsary to vote in Australia?

is it because unlike the US, AUS has less of a population?

Answer #1

It is not compulsory to vote in Australia. It is only compulsory to attend the polling station. What you do after that is your own business.

Answer #2

You mean you could write down a lot of insults for all the politicians on your ballot and put that one into the ballot box? Cool.
