Yup here in AUS just try any vote without giving and ID. Kicked out immediately and then fined for not voting. It’s a little draconian but cheating is hella hard.
At least you guys do voting right. There should be a fine for trying to vote without an ID, but fining idiots for not voting (doing the right thing) is shitty.
I have voted so many times in AU and not asked for ID once. I even bring out my ID and they just looked at me funny.
PROS of mandatory voting
Voter rolls are kept up-to-date. If a fake vote is cast for someone else's identity, it will come up as duplicate of the real voter, and be easily detected.
CONS of mandatory voting
People who dont give AF about politics are forced to vote to avoid paying a fine. These types of people usually cast their vote to the politician that MSM tells them to vote for.
Really? I’m in Melbourne and always appreciate me giving ID. But yeah our voter rolls are super up to date. I remember them sending me a card on my 18th telling to sign up to vote.

Well in AUS voting is mandatory. I don’t agree with said law but it prevents shit like this to a degree. Our security is top notch though.
