In Australia voting on all Government levels is compulsory.
We embrace that as one cannot complain about their elected Party if you have no say in the election process.
If you are an American, do you not vote and still complain about your Government?

So, even registered voters aren't compelled to vote?
I am sorry but I don't get it.
Are Americans so apathetic on such an important issue ??

In america, approximately 66% of eligible voters are registered. And yes, we are so apathetic even on such an important issue. Most people believe it doesn't matter, when clearly, situations like Florida nad New Hampshire in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 show that every vote counts....

In the 2004 election, over 129.5 million people in American were registered to vote. Only about 50 million actually voted.

Well, I am not registered to vote because I don't agree with the political election process and the electoral college (and this last time, Supreme Court) selection of the President. If my vote doesn't count anyway, what is the point of voting??

Only the percentage with very low IQ's. That's why they elect leaders with very low IQs. Simple logic.
