I believe is Australia, or as Bush would say "Austria." Voting is compulsory.

* Argentina
* Australia (compulsory enrolment and voting for both state* and national elections)
* Belgium
* Brazil (non-compulsory for 16 & 17 year olds and those over 70)
* Chile (enrollment voluntary)
* Cyprus
* Ecuador
* Fiji
* Greece
* Liechtenstein
* Luxembourg
* Mexico
* Nauru
* Peru
* Singapore
* Switzerland (Schaffhausen)
* Uruguay
These have compulsory voting. However, I do not agree with it for the simple reason that democracy must incorporate freedom to choose not to vote and not to have to choose between two candidates that do not appeal to you.
