Theres only a couple of countries in Europe that have compulsory
voting, Australia is the example more often used.
See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compulsory_voting for more info.
Whilst the USA is often used as an example of shockingly low turnout,
its a problem affecting many countries, its getting worse. The problem
appears to be a lack of credibility on the part of politicians, if
there is 'nobody decent' to vote for, people wont bother.
I suggest that the general dislike of Big Governemnt in the USA means
that something like compulsory voting would be part of the problem,
not solution.
