In my experience in Australia we have never had "contested" elections because we are all required to vote. In order to mail in vote, one must apply to the Australian Electoral Commission to get a mail in voting application.
I think that everyone should vote even if they might be "uninformed", because we all pay tax.

Everyone here does not pay taxes. Maybe only tax payers should vote? Funny I. Just heard a report of a survey where 18% said they would vote for whoever Taylor Swift endorses. I will respectfully disagree that everyone in the US should vote.
You guys in Australia may have a good system for compulsory voting, but I am very skeptical of how that would work in the US with all our current loose and variable voting policies.
Hi Carrie, thanks for replying.

Does the USA have optional census?
