Can't you just cancel your vote in Oz?
Unbelievable.
Jizz on it and send back
Failure to vote is a crime and you can go to debtors prison for refusing to pay.
A few years I got away with it by asking for a postal vote, since they allow for lost in the mail. this year I didn't bother even doing that and it bit me in the ass
>penalty units
That sounds very Orwellian.
Here in Canuckistan, you can just spoil your ballot, is what I'm saying. You could go to the polls and just write FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU all over the ballot. It doesn't go towards any candidate and no one can go to the polls pretending to be you to stuff the ballot box.
Surely, there is a "None of the Above" box?
>but none of the candidates are any good?
You could've checked them all or made your ballot invalid in some other way.
lol are they literally fining you money for not voting?
That's not actually a thing in Australia, is it?
at this point you should just send a reply in english that "unfortunately i do not speak or understand english and need all government correspondence to be mailed to me in chinese"
>All these fucking excuses in some pathetic attempt to justify the state walking all over you
You should all start killing your politicians
Do you not have write-in votes down there?
Lmao literally north korea
I don't agree with what they're doing, not a bit, but if you don't approve of any candidate, you should go out of your way to prevent anyone from impersonating you and voting in your name.
Why is it only aussies and africans who are forced to vote?

>going to prison on prison island
sounds like double jeopardy to me
and by africans I meant south americans
couldn't you vote for yourself as a write in?
just vote Hitler
Just ruin the ballot by selecting everyone
Just tell them Australia is a big prison and you should be ok
xo
Compulsory voting is a ploy by leftists to increase their power, as disinterested/uninformed citizens are more likely to vote for them.
Yes. We live in a shithole. Be mindful of that whenever one of the many anglo cucks from here berate you about your lack of gun control.
You can get fucked, leaf. The right not to vote is an inalienable right in countries that aren't shit.
You can "donkey vote" but that's not the point. The point is being forced to give this farce legitimacy through threat of punishment if you don't have your name crossed off at a polling station.
What the shit is wrong with your countries? The right say yes means jack fucking shit without the right to say no.
Q predicted this
Voting is a right and responsibility. You can cast a void vote. (mark incorrectly or something).
I repeat, voting is a responsibility for any adult living in any democratic country.
Daily exercise is a responsibility for every adult in every country. Have you paid your fine yet, lardass?
