In the Federal Elections here in Oz it is NOT compulsory to vote however every Registered voter must have their name marked off the voting register, which is kept in the local constituants area , as having attended a voting booth, it has been suggested by some suspicious cynical people that some individuals have had their name marked off more than one Register enabling them to have multiple votes - what shameless accusations. Surely the human race would not stoop so low?
