What does australia do with people who are religiously opposed to political involvement? Is there an exemption you can apply for? I can't imagine australia just throws them in jail.

If you don't want to vote, but don't want to get fined, you turn up to vote (always on a Saturday), go into the booth, don't write on your ballot (or write in a way to render it illegal) then put that in the box.
Some people do this: but only a very small proportion.

imogen, what about people who want to vote but can't on Saturdays? Is there an equivalent to the US's absentee ballot system?
