Compulsory voting has operated in Australia for a century, and
remains the best known and arguably the most successful example of
the practice globally. By probing that experience from several
disciplinary perspectives, this book offers a fresh, up-to-date
insight into the development and distinctive functioning of
compulsory voting in Australia. By juxtaposing the Australian
experience with that of other representative democracies in Europe
and North America, the volume also offers a much needed comparative
dimension to compulsory voting in Australia. A unifying theme
running through this study is the relationship between compulsory
voting and democratic well-being. Can we learn anything from
Australia's experience of the practice that is instructive for the
development of institutional bulwarks in an era when democratic
politics is under pressure globally? Or is Australia's case sui
generis - best understood in the final analysis as an intriguing
outlier?
