    I am from Australia. Technically, it is NOT illegal not to vote. It is illegal not to turn up to the polling station and get your name checked off. Whether you actually vote is up to you. If you don't get your name checked off, the Australian Electoral Commission sends you a fine in the mail. It is about $50.
